USD standard minimum covers up to 100,000 people; territories generally contain 100,000 to 300,000, subject to approval and local conditions. Extra population costs $450 per 1,000, prorated for smaller increments. Due at signing and nonrefundable. Eligible discounts or rural pricing may apply.

  • Advertising contributionStandard MAP fund contribution: 2% of weekly Gross Sales, paid weekly.

    Specialty and roll-in terms differ. A designated local marketing group requires participation and contributions capped at 3% of Gross Sales. Of that contribution, an amount equal to 2% of Gross Sales may support Neighborly marketing and brand awareness. The MAP Fund need not spend a set amount in your area.

  • Local marketing$60,000 during the first 12 months; $75,000 during the second 12 months.

    Amounts may rise up to 30% annually. After the initial marketing period, Aire Serv may require the greater of $50,000 annually or 8% of prior-year Gross Sales. Approved local spending is separate from MAP fees; shortfalls may be collected. Marketing-group contributions count toward local minimums, but those minimums do not limit group contributions.

These are selected fees, not the complete fee schedule. Review the full FDD for all fees and conditions.
