We have the right, but not the obligation, to develop or otherwise designate: (i) computer software programs that you must use in connection with any component of the Computer System (the “Required Software”), which you must install at your sole expense; (ii) updates, supplements, modifications, or enhancements to the Required Software, which you must also install at your expense; (iii) the tangible media upon which you record data; and (iv) the database file structure of the Computer System. At our request, you must purchase or lease, and thereafter maintain, the hardware necessary to support Required Software. You agree, at your own expense, to keep your Computer System in good maintenance and repair and install such additions, changes, modifications, substitutions, and/or replacements to your Computer System or Required Software as we direct from time to time in writing. (Franchise Agreement, Section 7.8.). As of the issuance date of this Disclosure Document, we also require you to purchase and use our designated CRM software (Jobber), overhead imagery software (NEARMAPS) and approved accounting software (such as QuickBooks) for your Computer System. The cost for the NEARMAPS software is $1,500 per year. Your first year’s cost is paid out of the Grand Opening Advertising expenditure, however you must 26 pay the annual fee each year after the first year unless we designate otherwise in writing. The estimated cost for the accounting software is approximately $250. We may also require you to enter into license agreements, with us or with third parties, to use certain software programs, including, without limitation Microsoft Office Suite. We estimate that the cost to obtain your Computer System and any Required Software will be $2,000, but it may be lower if you already have such hardware and software that meets our then-current standards. Thereafter, we estimate that the annual costs you will incur in maintenance and support contract, as well as any upgrade to your Computer System and Required Software, will be approximately $100 to $150 each month.
