National Brand Fund Contributions Begin April 28th
 Don't forget that you will see an additional field at the bottom of your royalty report this month for the National Brand Fund. The field will automatically be populated with either 2% of monthly sales per territory, or, $600.00 per territory, whichever is the lesser. That amount will be debited from your account on April 28th. The email confirmation you normally receive for your royalty will also include confirmation of the National Brand Fund contribution. To date we have received several hundred signed Brand Fund Addenda. It is your choice whether to sign the addendum, but we ask that you either execute the addendum, or, sign the Opt Out form. Please return the documentation to CKFI in the postage-paid envelope as soon as possible. |
