When is the insufficient funds fee due from a Fly To Fit franchisee?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, an insufficient funds fee may be charged to a franchisee if a payment is returned due to insufficient funds in their account. The amount of this fee is $30, but it may be less if $30 exceeds the maximum amount allowed by law. This fee is due to Fly To Fit 'on demand'.

In practical terms, this means that if a Fly To Fit franchisee attempts to make a payment to the company (likely via check or electronic transfer) and the payment is rejected by the bank due to insufficient funds, Fly To Fit will immediately demand $30 (or the legal maximum) from the franchisee. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising and business generally, as it compensates the franchisor for the administrative costs and inconvenience of dealing with a failed payment.

Prospective Fly To Fit franchisees should ensure they maintain sufficient funds in their accounts to cover all payments to avoid incurring this fee. It is also important to note that Fly To Fit may have the right to change the payment method, so franchisees should stay informed about any changes to payment policies to avoid unintentional non-compliance.
