What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, Eos Worldwide currently does not charge a Technology Fee. However, Eos Worldwide retains the right to implement a Technology Fee in the future.
To impose a Technology Fee, Eos Worldwide will provide franchisees with thirty (30) days' written notice. This fee is intended to cover technology-related costs such as website development and maintenance, support for the email system and other required technology, software development, mobile application development, and other technology support or services.
If a Technology Fee is established, franchisees will be obligated to pay the designated amount in the manner specified by Eos Worldwide. Eos Worldwide may increase this fee periodically based on factors they deem relevant, including usage levels and overall costs. However, barring unusual circumstances, Eos Worldwide will limit any such increase to once per calendar year and to no more than $100 per month during the current term of the franchise agreement.
Eos Worldwide also reserves the right to offer additional technology services and products beyond the Required Technology, for which they may charge separate fees. This allows Eos Worldwide to adapt to changing technology needs and offer franchisees optional tools and services at an additional cost.
