What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floors To Go FDD, franchisees will be informed about the terms of the CashBack program on a regular basis. The FTG CashBack Program involves various floor covering and window treatment manufacturers offering incentives for purchasing selected, specifically marked items. These incentives can reach up to 8% of the purchase price for those selected items.
The funds for these rebates are paid by the suppliers to Floors To Go on behalf of the franchisee. Floors To Go then holds these funds without any liability for interest. After verifying the amounts received and deducting any amounts owed to them by the franchisee, Floors To Go distributes the funds to the franchisee either annually or semi-annually.
It's important to note that while Floors To Go aims to secure the best possible rebate terms, their responsibility is limited to distributing the funds received from participating manufacturers. Floors To Go is not liable if a manufacturer alters or discontinues its rebate program or fails to make payments. The FDD also states that Floors To Go has no fiduciary duties regarding the operation or administration of the FTG CashBack Program.
