What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, the Terminal Addendum supplements the Participation Agreement between First Data Resources, LLC (GIFT) and the Dq Treat franchisee. The subject of the supplemented agreement concerns the terms under which franchisees can purchase or rent terminals, specifically FD-150 terminals, for use as "Gift Card only" terminals where no processing is involved.
The addendum outlines the process for franchisees to elect whether to purchase or rent the FD-150 terminal. If purchasing, Dq Treat suggests that franchisees also select the Equipment Replacement Program to cover terminals in case of malfunction. The franchisee must complete and sign the FD Prepaid Implementation and Boarding Form Version Dq and return it with the Participation Agreement and Credit Application.
Upon processing the Participation Agreement, GIFT will return a fully executed copy of the agreement to the franchisee, including a cover letter containing the GIFT Merchant ID Number and First Data Net log-on information with a password to access gift card reconciliation reports via the Internet. This ensures that Dq Treat franchisees have the necessary tools and support for managing gift card transactions effectively.
