What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, franchisees must return both completed and signed originals of the Participation Agreement and Credit Application. After Dq Treat processes the Participation Agreement, GIFT (presumably Gift Card Integrated Technologies) will return one fully executed copy of the Participation Agreement to the franchisee. This returned copy will include a cover letter containing the franchisee's GIFT Merchant ID Number and First Data Net log-on information, which is needed to access gift card reconciliation reports online.
Therefore, a Dq Treat franchisee needs to print at least two copies of the Credit Application and Participation Agreement: one to keep for their records while completing the forms, and two originals to submit. It is advisable to keep a copy of all documents submitted to Dq Treat for the franchisee's records.
It is important to ensure that all questions on the credit application are answered fully to avoid processing delays. The FDD specifies that incomplete applications will not be processed. Franchisees should also note the fax number provided for submitting these documents: 1-402-916-8946.
