Guidance Amid New Franchise Technology Fees
Last updated on May 1, 2025
Technology is evolving at an incredible rate. Phones gave way to computers and the World Wide Web in the 1990s and early 2000s, and modern internet systems are now giving way to AI and other cutting-edge technology. For franchisees in Florida and across the US, keeping up with technological changes and having the tools to address them is crucial to stay ahead of the competition. Often, franchisors charge new technology fees (NTFs), using the money to update existing systems and implement new technology.
During this process, franchisees must know exactly what rights they have and what legal steps to take to protect their businesses. That is where the experienced franchise and commercial law attorneys of Zarco Einhorn Salkowski, P.A. come in. We can help you navigate this process, protect your franchisee rights, and ensure new technology fees are being charged and used correctly. Se habla español.
What Legal Issues Could You Face?
Staying ahead of legal issues involving new technology fees is also critical. Here are a few potential issues you may encounter:
- Being overcharged on fees by your franchisor
- Not getting the benefits of the new technology you are paying for
- Experiencing fraud or being given false information
- The implementation of tech that harms your business
- A breach of contractual obligations relating to new tech
All of this can be very complex and could cost your franchise significantly, whether through direct harm or negligence, making it vital to understand your legal rights.
