Answer from 2025 FDD Document

6.2. Our Remedies.

If any Event of Default occurs under Section 6.1, we may, at our sole election: (i) declare this Agreement and any and all other rights granted to you under this Agreement to be immediately terminated and of no further force or effect; (ii) terminate any exclusive or territorial rights that you may have within the Development Area or otherwise under this Agreement; and/or (iii) exercise any other remedy we may have in law or equity as a result of an Event of Default hereunder. Upon termination of this Agreement for any other reason whatsoever, we will retain the Development Fee and you will not be relieved of any of your obligations, debts, or liabilities hereunder, including without limitation any debts, obligations, or liabilities which have accrued prior to such termination. All rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative and not alternative, in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which are provided for herein or which may be available at law or in equity in case of any breach, failure or default or threatened breach, failure or default of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be continuing and shall not be exhausted by any one or more uses thereof and may be exercised at any time or from time to time as often as may be expedient; and any option or election to enforce any such right or remedy may be exercised or taken at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a termination of this Agreement resulting from your failure to open and thereafter operate Franchised Businesses in accordance with the Development Schedule will not, in itself, constitute cause for us to terminate any previously executed Franchise Agreement in effect at the time of such termination.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee experiences an event of default, Beauty Bungalows has several remedies available. Beauty Bungalows can choose to immediately terminate the Area Development Agreement, thereby ending all rights granted to the franchisee. Alternatively, Beauty Bungalows can terminate any exclusive or territorial rights the franchisee may have had within a Development Area.

In addition to termination, Beauty Bungalows can pursue any other legal or equitable remedy available due to the default. The termination of the agreement does not relieve the franchisee of obligations, debts, or liabilities accrued before the termination, including the development fee. All rights and remedies available to Beauty Bungalows are cumulative and can be used in addition to any other rights or remedies provided in the agreement or available by law or equity.

It is important to note that these remedies are not alternative but cumulative, meaning Beauty Bungalows can pursue multiple avenues of recourse simultaneously. The rights and remedies are continuing and can be exercised at any time as needed. However, termination of the Area Development Agreement due to failure to meet the development schedule does not automatically cause termination of any existing Franchise Agreements.
