What conditions apply to a Beauty Bungalows franchisee's general conduct on the Internet?

According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's general conduct on the Internet is subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, any other rules, requirements, or policies that Beauty Bungalows may identify from time to time will also apply to the franchisee's online activities. This includes the franchisee's use of Beauty Bungalows's marks or any advertising they conduct online.

Beauty Bungalows retains exclusive rights to market and sell on the Internet, including the use of websites, domain names, URLs, email addresses, metatags, linking, advertising, co-branding, and other forms of electronic media. A franchisee cannot independently market on the Internet or conduct e-commerce without written approval from Beauty Bungalows. This means that franchisees are generally prohibited from using the Internet as an independent channel for marketing or sales.

Franchisees are also restricted from registering any domain name or portion of a domain name that contains Beauty Bungalows's marks, or from participating in any website or other form of electronic media using these marks, unless they first obtain written approval from Beauty Bungalows. This ensures that Beauty Bungalows maintains control over its brand and online presence, preventing franchisees from creating potentially inconsistent or unauthorized online content. This is a fairly common practice in franchising, as franchisors seek to maintain brand consistency and control quality across all online channels.
