Who controls software purchasing Item 2 covers the FDD's officer disclosures. The more direct signal for a vendor is the franchisor's own technology mandate: TrackMan is required under Item 5, and Item 8 bundles point-of-sale software into the franchise's technology fee — HQ, not the individual bay operator, controls that stack.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required TrackMan is mandated under Item 5 — a contractual obligation, not a suggestion. Item 8 separately requires golf-bay technology, its associated computers and software, and point-of-sale software (bundled into the technology fee) to be bought from the franchisor or an affiliate.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: franchisees buy or lease goods, services, real estate, and computer hardware and software either from the franchisor, its affiliate, or its designee, or from franchisor-approved suppliers meeting specifications. Golf balls, bay consumables, branded merchandise, golf-bay technology, and point-of-sale software specifically must come from the franchisor or an affiliate; franchisees may still propose other suppliers for approval. Item 17 allows up to two additional 10-year terms, each requiring advance notice, full compliance, a site renovation, a renewal fee, and the then-current franchise agreement.
