We may from time to time inspect and evaluate the facilities and products of any approved supplier and revoke its general approval of particular products or suppliers when we determine, in our sole discretion, that such products or suppliers no longer meet our standards. We will provide the Store with written notice of such revocation, at which time (or at the time set forth in the notice) the Store must stop selling any disapproved products and stop purchasing any products from any disapproved supplier.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino may inspect and evaluate the facilities and products of any approved supplier and revoke its general approval of particular products or suppliers when they determine that such products or suppliers no longer meet their standards. If a supplier or product is disapproved, Amorino will provide the Store with written notice of such revocation. Upon receiving the notice, the franchisee must stop selling any disapproved products and stop purchasing any products from any disapproved supplier, either immediately or at the time specified in the notice.
This means that Amorino franchisees are subject to changes in approved suppliers and product standards. If Amorino revokes approval of a supplier, the franchisee will be notified in writing and must immediately cease purchasing from or selling the disapproved products, or at a later date specified in the notice. This could potentially disrupt the franchisee's supply chain and require them to find alternative sources for products quickly.
It is important for prospective Amorino franchisees to understand that Amorino has the sole discretion to determine whether products or suppliers meet their standards. Franchisees do not have the ability to suggest alternative suppliers. This highlights the importance of maintaining a good relationship with Amorino and staying informed about any changes to approved suppliers to avoid potential disruptions to their business.
