This is a fair distinction to point out.

They can't both lack permission and charge a single business. If they're charging, they have permission (though possibly the contract was misleading). If they don't have permission, they have no ability to charge.

They may not be able to charge the restaurant directly, but they can and do increase the menu price when they don't have an agreement.
