What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Participation Agreement between a Dq Treat location and Punchh Inc. begins on the "Participation Agreement Effective Date," which is the date the Participating Location signs the agreement. The agreement remains in effect until the expiration or termination of the Master Services Agreement between Dq Treat (referred to as "Customer" in this context) and Punchh.
The Participation Agreement can also terminate earlier if either party ends it according to the terms outlined in the Master Services Agreement or the Participation Agreement itself. This means that a Dq Treat franchisee's agreement with Punchh is directly tied to the overarching agreement between Dq Treat and Punchh.
This arrangement ensures that Dq Treat locations using Punchh services are aligned with the contractual relationship between Dq Treat and Punchh. Franchisees should be aware that changes or termination of the master agreement could impact their access to and use of the Punchh platform. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the terms of both the Participation Agreement and the Master Services Agreement to fully grasp their rights and obligations.
