What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase or subscribe to a Point-of-Sale (POS) system. The franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with purchasing the POS system, electronic signing, and other software subscriptions or licenses that Deka Lash requires.
Deka Lash may modify the required software, subscriptions, licenses, tablets, computer systems, and equipment. If Deka Lash updates, modifies, or changes the specifications, the franchisee must promptly modify, replace, or add to their existing systems at their own expense. Franchisees must acquire the software and hardware that strictly conform to Deka Lash's specifications from sources that Deka Lash requires.
Deka Lash retains the right to change the computer hardware or software, including the POS software, at any time, and franchisees are required to convert to the new system at their own expense. Deka Lash may charge a license fee for some or all of the licenses granted and may also be a reseller of the licenses, receiving compensation for such. The list of all licenses and any associated license fees are kept and updated in the Operations Manual. Failure to report cash or other payments through the POS account may result in a fine of $750 per occurrence and may lead to a default of the Franchise Agreement.
