What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Beauty Bungalows Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's general conduct on the Internet is subject to the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreement. This extends to the franchisee's use of Beauty Bungalows' marks and any advertising they conduct online. Franchisees must also adhere to any other rules, requirements, or policies that Beauty Bungalows may identify periodically.

Beauty Bungalows retains the sole right to market and sell on the Internet and use its marks online, including websites, domain names, URLs, email addresses, and social media. Franchisees are prohibited from registering any domain name or participating on any website using Beauty Bungalows' marks without prior written approval from Beauty Bungalows.

This means that as a Beauty Bungalows franchisee, you must be careful about your online activities and how they relate to the brand. You need to get approval for any online marketing efforts that use the Beauty Bungalows marks. Failing to comply with these rules could result in a breach of the Franchise Agreement.
