Site Selection: You must assume all costs, liabilities, expenses and responsibility for locating, obtaining and developing a site for the Shop and for constructing and equipping the Shop at the accepted site. You will select the site for the Shop subject to our acceptance and using our site selection criteria. Before you lease or purchase the site for the Shop, you must locate a site that satisfies our site selection guidelines. If we deem it necessary we will conduct one onsite evaluation, but before we conduct the evaluation you must submit to us in the form we specify a description of the site, including evidence that the site satisfies our site selection guidelines, together with other information and materials that we may reasonably require, including a letter of intent or other evidence that confirms your favorable prospects for obtaining the site. We have the right to approve deviations from our site selection standards based on the individual factors and components of a particular site.
You must have located and submitted to us, for our review, all information we require regarding the site you propose for your Shop no later than 90 days after you have signed the Franchise Agreement. We will have 30 days after we receive all required information and materials from you to accept or decline the proposed site as the location for your Baya Bar Shop. If we do not provide our specific acceptance of a proposed site, the site is deemed not accepted. We do not warrant or guarantee that your Shop will be successful at any site that we accept. Our acceptance only means that the site meets our minimum requirements for a Shop, subject to any deviation from our standards as we may permit.
