What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Destruction Event' occurs when a studio is destroyed or damaged by any cause beyond the franchisee's control, preventing it from continuing business operations. The franchisee must promptly notify Beem Light Sauna of such an event.
Following a Destruction Event, the franchisee is obligated to diligently repair and restore the studio to the franchisor's approved plans and specifications. This restoration should occur as quickly as possible, either at the original location or at a substitute site that Beem Light Sauna accepts within the Development Area.
For up to 180 days after a Destruction Event, the Beem Light Sauna business will still be considered a 'Studio in operation' under the Franchise Agreement. However, if the studio remains closed for longer than 180 days after the Destruction Event, or if it closes for reasons not covered in this section or without Beem Light Sauna's written agreement, the franchisor may exercise its rights and remedies as outlined in Section 6.2 of the agreement.
