What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the PARPay™ Service Terms and Conditions are specifically applicable only to those locations that are purchasing or licensing the PARPay™ Service along with an approved Device. This means that not all Dq Treat locations are automatically subject to these terms; their applicability is contingent upon the franchisee's decision to utilize the PARPay™ Service.
The PARPay™ Service Terms and Conditions outline the agreement between PAR and the Participating Location regarding the use of PARPay™ Services. These terms include the license and right to use and access the PARPay™ Services. It also supersedes any prior discussions or understandings between PAR and the Participating Location, ensuring that the written terms are the governing agreement. Any modifications to these terms must be agreed upon in writing by both PAR and the Participating Location to be considered valid.
For a prospective Dq Treat franchisee, this means that if they choose to implement the PARPay™ system for processing credit/debit/gift card transactions, they will be bound by these terms and conditions. It is important for franchisees to carefully review these terms to understand their rights and obligations related to the use of the PARPay™ service, including any restrictions, usage guidelines, and liabilities. If a franchisee does not opt into the PARPay™ service, these specific terms and conditions would not apply to their Dq Treat location.
