What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a purchaser has the right to cancel the transaction without incurring any penalties or obligations. The cancellation window extends until midnight of the fifth business day following the agreement date. To exercise this right, the purchaser must mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of the cancellation notice, or any other written notice, to Beauty Bungalows Franchising, LLC at 257 Wake Forest Road, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 before the deadline.
If the transaction is canceled, any payments made under the agreement and any negotiable instrument executed by the purchaser will be returned within ten business days following the seller's receipt of the cancellation notice. Additionally, any security interest arising from the transaction will be canceled. The purchaser is obligated to make available to the seller, at their business address, all goods delivered under the agreement. Alternatively, the purchaser may comply with the seller's instructions regarding the return shipment of the goods at the seller's expense and risk.
It's important to note that if the purchaser makes the goods available to the seller, and the seller does not pick them up within 20 days of the cancellation notice date, the purchaser may retain or dispose of the goods without further obligation. However, if the purchaser fails to make the goods available or agrees to return them but fails to do so, they remain liable for the performance of all obligations under the agreement. This cancellation right is a standard consumer protection measure, allowing franchisees to reconsider their investment shortly after committing to the franchise agreement.
