Development Agreement
Development Area. You may (if you qualify) develop and operate a number of Studios within a specific territory (the "Development Area"). We and you will identify the Development Area in the Development Agreement before signing it. The Development Area typically is a city, cities, counties, or specific zip codes and will be narratively described in, and pictorially identified on a map attached to, the Development Agreement. We base the Development Area's size primarily on the number of Studios that you commit to develop, demographics, distinct market areas within the Development Area, competitive businesses, and site availability. We will determine the number of Studios that you must develop, and the deadlines for development, to keep your development rights. We and you will complete the Development Schedule in the Development Agreement before signing it. Each site you propose for a Studio to be developed under the Development Agreement must be acceptable to us. After each proposed site is accepted and secured, we will determine the Territory for that Studio. Our then-current standards for sites and Territories will apply.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Area, which is the specific territory where a franchisee may develop and operate multiple studios under a Development Agreement, is pictorially identified on a map attached to the Development Agreement. The Development Area is also narratively described in the Development Agreement. This area is determined by Beem Light Sauna based on factors such as the number of studios the franchisee commits to develop, demographics, distinct market areas, competitive businesses, and site availability.
The Development Area typically includes a city, multiple cities, counties, or specific zip codes. The number of studios a franchisee must develop and the deadlines for development are outlined in the Development Schedule, which is completed before signing the Development Agreement. Each proposed site for a studio must be acceptable to Beem Light Sauna, and after the site is secured, Beem Light Sauna will determine the specific Territory for that studio based on their current standards.
It is important to note that Beem Light Sauna does not grant exclusive territories under the Development Agreement, meaning franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels. Beem Light Sauna retains the right to modify the Development Area or Development Schedule if the franchisee defaults on the Development Agreement, potentially decreasing the number of studios required to be developed. Franchisees are not allowed to develop or operate studios outside the designated Development Area.
