What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise term lasts for 10 years. Specifically, the franchise term begins on the effective date of the Franchise Agreement and continues for 10 years from the date the franchisee opens their Beem Light Sauna studio for business.
After the initial term, a franchisee may have the option to renew the franchise agreement for two additional terms of five years each, provided they meet certain conditions. These conditions include notifying Beem Light Sauna of the intent to renew within a specified timeframe, signing the successor franchise agreement, refurbishing the studio to current specifications, completing required training, securing the right to continue operating at the site, and complying with all agreements.
It's important to note that if a franchisee continues to operate the Beem Light Sauna studio after the expiration of the initial term without a formal renewal, Beem Light Sauna may treat the term as extended on a month-to-month basis. This arrangement can be terminated by either party with 30 days' notice.
