What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may incur additional software fees for the Spray-Network under specific circumstances. While franchisees pay recurring monthly fixed fees and a weekly tech fee royalty (0.0025 of total job value), additional fees can arise. These fees are not fixed and Spray Net retains the right to adjust the frequency and amount of the Spray-Network software fees and tech royalty invoiced.
Specifically, Spray Net may charge additional software fees in the event of major upgrades or the integration of third-party applications into the Spray-Network. This implies that as the software evolves with new functionalities or incorporates external tools, franchisees could be required to contribute financially to these enhancements.
It is important for prospective Spray Net franchisees to understand that while the franchise agreement outlines the standard software fees, the potential for additional costs exists. Franchisees should budget for these potential expenses and discuss with Spray Net the likelihood and scope of such upgrades or integrations to better anticipate future financial obligations. Understanding the roadmap for software development and associated costs is crucial for financial planning.
