What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Payment and Performance Guarantee outlines the obligations of the Guarantors concerning the Beem Light Sauna franchise. According to Appendix C, the Guarantors are responsible for ensuring the Franchisee meets all financial and performance obligations to Beem Light Sauna. This guarantee covers all debts and liabilities, whether direct or indirect, current or future, related to the Franchise Agreement.

Specifically, if the Franchisee fails to pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Liabilities when due, the Guarantors are obligated to immediately fulfill those obligations. This includes covering all expenses, such as reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred while enforcing the Guarantee or securing payment of any Guaranteed Liabilities. The Guarantors confirm they have reviewed the Franchise Agreement and consulted with counsel to fully understand their responsibilities under both the Franchise Agreement and the Guarantee.

However, the document does not provide specific exceptions to failing to pay taxes. The Payment and Performance Guarantee focuses on the broader financial and performance obligations of the franchisee, and the guarantor's role in ensuring these obligations are met. For a comprehensive understanding of tax-related obligations and potential exceptions, a prospective franchisee should consult the full FDD and seek clarification from Beem Light Sauna's financial representatives.
