Can Stretch Zone charge the Media Fund for services they provide?

• (b) Administration. We will administer the Media Fund. We use the funds in the Media Fund to pay for the costs of creating various advertising, marketing, and promotional materials that we deem beneficial to the Business System. We also use the funds in the Media Fund to pay the costs of conducting regional and/or national advertising and promotional activities (including the cost of producing advertising campaigns and marketing materials, conducting test marketing and marketing surveys, and public relations activities) that we deem beneficial to the Business System. We can charge the Media Fund for our costs for services we provide, in lieu of engaging third party agencies to provide these services. We will not use any of the funds to offer or sell Stretch Zone Franchises to prospective franchisees. We assume no other direct or indirect liability or obligation to you for the maintenance, direction or administration of the Media Fund, except as expressly provided in this ARTICLE 7.

Source: Item 8 — Receipts. Any sale made must be in compliance with § 683(8) of the Franchise Sale Act (N.Y. Gen. Bus. L. § 680 et seq.), which describes the time period a Franchise Disclosure Document (offering prospectus) must be provided to a prospective franchisee before a sale may be made. New York law requires a franchisor to provide the Franchise Disclosure Document at the earliest of the first personal meeting or ten (10) business days before the execution of the franchise or other agreement or the payment of any consideration that relates to the franchise relationship.
