What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the due date for third-party vendor fees varies. Desi District has the right to require franchisees to use designated third-party vendors and suppliers, which may include computer support vendors, mystery shopping services, and customer feedback systems.
The vendors and suppliers may bill the Desi District franchisees directly. Alternatively, Desi District has the right to collect payments for these vendors, potentially including a reasonable markup or charge for administering the payment program.
Therefore, the due date for these fees depends on whether the vendor bills the franchisee directly or if Desi District collects the payment. If billed directly, the franchisee must adhere to the vendor's payment terms. If Desi District collects the payment, the due date will be determined by Desi District's billing cycle and administrative procedures.
