What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pump It Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while currently no ASP Hosting Fee is charged, Pump It Up reserves the right to charge up to $650 per month in the future. This fee would be for application service provider (ASP) hosting.
This means that as a Pump It Up franchisee, you may be required to pay up to $650 per month for ASP hosting fees at some point during the franchise term. This fee is contingent, meaning it is not currently charged, but Pump It Up retains the right to implement it. The ASP fee would cover the costs associated with Pump It Up or a third-party providing service and support for the Pump It Up business.
It is important for prospective franchisees to factor this potential expense into their financial projections. While it is not an immediate cost, the possibility of its implementation should be considered. Franchisees should inquire about the circumstances under which this fee might be implemented and whether all franchisees would be subject to the fee or only those requiring specific services.
