Renewal Conditions
To renew their franchise agreement for additional ten-year terms, Fuelify franchisees must have fully complied with all material provisions of their current agreement. They are required to make any necessary capital expenditures to ensure uniformity with Fuelify's updated System standards and specifications. Franchisees must also have satisfied all monetary obligations to Fuelify or its affiliates and not be in default of any existing agreements. Notice of intent to renew must be provided in writing between 9 and 12 months before the current term expires. Upon renewal, franchisees will need to sign Fuelify's then-current franchise agreement (which may include materially different terms, although the initial franchise fee will be waived), meet current franchisee qualifications, agree to comply with any new training requirements, sign a general release of claims (where permitted by state law), and pay a $5,000 renewal fee.
Training & Support Program
Franchisor Assistance
Before a Fuelify franchise opens, Fuelify provides an initial training program and guidance to assist with establishing the business. Franchisees receive a copy of or access to the Operations Manual, and assistance with establishing product and service prices, obtaining equipment, signs, fixtures, initial inventory, and supplies. Limited assistance is also provided to help conform the premises to local codes and obtain permits, and with advice on the type and number of employees to hire (though the franchisee is solely responsible for all employment matters). After opening, Fuelify offers general advice and guidance by telephone and electronic correspondence for planning and operating the business. Fuelify also makes ongoing training available as needed and provides modifications to the Operations Manual as they are updated. Fuelify requires franchisees to spend a minimum of $1,500 or 1.5% of Gross Revenues per month on local advertising and between $2,000 to $3,000 on grand opening advertising, following its guidelines. Fuelify also maintains a National Advertising and Development Fund, to which franchisees contribute 2% of their Gross Revenues monthly, used for various advertising efforts. Fuelify designates required computer hardware and software, including a POS system, and has independent access to franchisee's computer systems and video surveillance. Fuelify also provides site selection criteria and approves proposed locations within 10 days.

Ongoing Support

Fuelify also makes ongoing training programs, seminars, conferences, conventions, or webinars available as needed, up to two sessions per year, at the franchisee's expense for attendance and trainer's expenses if on-site. Fuelify or its representatives may conduct announced or unannounced periodic visits to the franchised business for consultation, assistance, guidance, and to monitor business practices, with written reports generated. Fuelify provides ongoing modifications to the Operations Manual. While franchisees are responsible for maintaining their computer systems, Fuelify retains full access to customer, transaction, and operational data, as well as video surveillance streams.

Staffing Notes
Fuelify provides assistance to franchisees in determining the appropriate type and number of employees to hire, though franchisees retain sole responsibility for all aspects of employee management, including hiring, firing, compensation, and daily supervision. Fuelify requires that the franchised business be under the direct supervision of either the franchisee or an approved Designated Manager. This manager must devote at least 40 hours per week to the day-to-day operations, complete Fuelify's initial training program satisfactorily, and be approved by Fuelify. If a Designated Manager needs replacement, the new manager must also be approved within 60 days. If the franchisee is an entity, its Designated Manager does not need to hold an equity interest in the entity.
