What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, Brand Fund contributions are generally non-refundable. However, there are limited circumstances where a refund may be possible, as detailed in Section 11 of the FDD.
Specifically, if Eos Worldwide establishes a Brand Development Fund, franchisees are required to pay a Brand Contribution. If this contribution is a fixed fee, Eos Worldwide will limit increases to no more than once per calendar year and to a maximum of $100 per month during the current term.
However, the FDD excerpt does not specify the exact conditions under which Brand Contributions are refundable, only referring to Section 11 for those details. A prospective Eos Worldwide franchisee should carefully review Section 11 of the FDD and seek clarification from the franchisor regarding the specific circumstances that would allow for a refund of Brand Fund contributions.
