What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to begin DMB Program services, a franchisee must submit a signed agreement and payment for equipment, installation, and a pro-rated amount for one year of monthly services. This pro-rated amount covers the remainder of the calendar year.

Dq Treat will then invoice the franchisee for the annual service fees for the following year, with payment due within 30 days of receiving the invoice. If the franchisee's total annual fees exceed $300, they can receive a 2% discount by paying the full balance before the due date.

For Canadian locations, Dq Treat uses an exchange rate of 1.21 ($100 USD = $121 CDN). This exchange rate is reviewed quarterly against the Bank of Canada's rate, and fees are adjusted if the rate differs by five points or more. Franchisees will receive 30 days' notice before any fee adjustments. These fees are non-refundable if the franchise is sold, but they will be refunded on a pro-rata basis if the store closes.
