What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state whether a sample Design Services Agreement is included. However, it does refer to agreements related to specific services. For example, Exhibit C is identified as the "relevant Participation Agreement" for franchisees using the Punchh platform for promotional programs.
Item 17 refers to Professional Services performed by Punchh for the Customer, as may be set forth in a separate SOW signed by the parties. It is not clear if this is the same as a Design Services Agreement.
To determine if a Design Services Agreement is included, a prospective franchisee should review the exhibits listed in the Dq Treat FDD and ask the franchisor directly about any agreements related to design services.
