Based on the 2025 Beauty Bungalows Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific operational and financial obligations to maintain their franchise agreement. Failing to meet these obligations can be construed as 'fails or refuses to maintain' the Beauty Bungalows business.

Specifically, franchisees are required to promptly pay all taxes, fees, debts, and expenses related to the franchised business, including payroll taxes. Allowing a tax sale, seizure, levy, execution, bankruptcy, or assignment of assets for creditors can also be considered a failure to maintain the business. Franchisees must also use the Beauty Bungalows Marks only as specified in the franchise agreement; any unauthorized use constitutes a breach.

Furthermore, franchisees must comply with specifications and approvals for furniture, fixtures, equipment, interior design firms, and beauty supplies. They are also obligated to maintain and operate the Beauty Bungalows business according to the methods, standards, and specifications outlined in the franchise agreement and operations manual. Failure to meet these operational and financial obligations could lead to termination of the franchise agreement.
