Can the Beauty Bungalows franchisor update and revise the Manual periodically?

According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor reserves the right to periodically update and revise the Manual. This manual contains critical information about the operation of the Beauty Bungalows franchise system.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the rules, standards, and procedures for operating their Beauty Bungalows business can change over time. It is the franchisee's responsibility to stay current with these changes and comply with the latest version of the Manual. This includes updates to standards, specifications, processes, procedures, requirements, and instructions regarding the franchise's physical facilities.

The franchisee is responsible for keeping the Manual in good condition and may be required to use it in electronic format only. Upon termination or transfer of the franchise agreement, the Manual must be returned to Beauty Bungalows. Franchisees must also remodel or upgrade their franchise at their own cost in accordance with the Manual, as amended or revised. Any remodeling or upgrade standards or requests will be applied to all franchised locations and to all locations owned by Beauty Bungalows's affiliate on a nondiscriminatory basis.

This ability to update the manual is typical in franchising, as systems evolve and franchisors seek to maintain consistency and competitiveness across the brand. Franchisees should regularly review updates to the manual and seek clarification from the franchisor on any changes.
