- (b) Renovations. Upon our written request, but not more than once every five years, you must refurbish and renovate the Studio at your expense to conform the decor, Trade Dress, color schemes, signage, and presentation of the Marks to our then-current image and design. Such renovations may include, as we deem necessary, remodeling, redecoration, and other modifications to existing improvements and updating or replacing any Operating Assets. You acknowledge that this obligation could result in your making extensive structural changes to, and significantly remodeling and renovating, the Studio, and/or in your spending substantial amounts for new Operating Assets, and you agree to incur, without limitation, any capital expenditures required in order to comply with this obligation and our requirements (even if those expenditures cannot be amortized over the remaining Term). Within 60 days after receiving written notice from us, you must have plans prepared according to the System Standards we prescribe and, if we require, using architects and contractors we approve, and you must submit those plans to us for our approval. You must complete all work according to the plans we approve within the time period that we reasonably specify.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to refurbish and renovate their studios, at their own expense, to conform to the brand's current image and design.

Within 60 days of receiving written notice from Beem Light Sauna, franchisees must prepare plans according to the System Standards prescribed by the franchisor. These plans may require the use of architects and contractors approved by Beem Light Sauna, and the plans must be submitted for approval.
