Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: May 1, 2026

Disclaimer

FranchiseGenius.com operates as a directory listing of business and franchise opportunities, with research and listings on 4,000+ franchises. The platform states that “all information provided on FranchiseGenius.com is for informational purposes only” and doesn’t confirm accuracy or completeness. Users shouldn’t rely solely on the site’s information.

The company clarifies it doesn’t sell opportunities, serve as a broker, or endorse any listings. Users conduct all dealings directly with sellers. The site advises that “the information on this site is only a starting point for your further due diligence,” requiring independent verification of opportunity details.

Franchise Genius disclaims liability for actions or damages from using site information. The company recommends consulting “competent legal, accounting, and financial professionals” before entering agreements.

Copyrights and Intellectual Property Rights

Content and code are copyrighted by Franchise Genius LLC with all rights reserved. No materials may be copied without express written approval. The company owns information users enter or the site otherwise collects.

The website is intended exclusively for researching franchise opportunities. Usage restrictions prohibit illegal purposes, reverse engineering, content copying, or competitive intelligence gathering.

Information Requests

By submitting information requests, users warrant their profile data is accurate and they genuinely seek purchasing information. Users acknowledge franchisors may contact them despite “Do-Not-Call” registrations.

The system communicates requests to sellers, though technical or business issues may prevent delivery or responses.

Document Processing Fee

FranchiseGenius.com charges a Document Processing Fee for the acquisition, storage, organization, and digital delivery of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs). This fee covers our operational costs and is not a payment for ownership of the document itself. FDDs are legally mandated documents filed by franchisors with regulatory authorities.

We guarantee that the product is accurately described on our site and the product you download is the product purchased. Because our reports are information based products that are downloaded or emailed, we do not provide refunds once the product has been purchased and received. However, refunds may be offered if the document could not be delivered due to a technical failure on our part, or the document delivered is materially different from its description on our site.

Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of purchase via our Contact Us page. Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5-10 business days.

General

Georgia law governs site usage. Legal claims proceed through Atlanta courts, though Franchise Genius reserves arbitration rights in Atlanta at the claimant’s expense.

The company reserves rights to refuse user content or deny service. Terms update periodically with 24-hour notice requirements before changes apply.
