Does the Development Agreement for Beem Light Sauna grant the right to use the Marks?

According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Agreement does not grant the right to use the Marks. The right to use Beem Light Sauna's trademarks arises only under the Franchise Agreements signed with them. This means that a prospective franchisee who signs a Development Agreement to develop multiple Beem Light Sauna locations will not be able to use the brand's trademarks until they enter into individual Franchise Agreements for each location.

This distinction is important because the Development Agreement typically outlines the area and schedule for opening multiple franchise locations, but it does not grant the franchisee the right to operate under the Beem Light Sauna brand. The franchisee's rights to use the trademarks, operate a Beem Light Sauna studio, and utilize the brand's systems and processes are only secured upon signing the individual Franchise Agreements for each location they plan to develop.

Prospective franchisees should understand that the Development Agreement is a preliminary step that secures the rights to develop franchises in a specific area, but it does not provide the full rights and privileges of a franchisee. These rights are only granted upon signing the Franchise Agreement for each specific Beem Light Sauna location. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully review both the Development Agreement and the Franchise Agreement to fully understand the obligations and rights associated with each document.
