nager, agent, independent contractor, or other third party. We will, however, remain responsible for ensuring that those obligations are performed in compliance with the terms of the Franchise Agreement.

Franchise Agreement
Site. Your franchise is for the specific Site that we approve. You must select a site that we have accepted within the non-exclusive Site Selection Area that we specify. Your Site Selection Area is not exclusive and is only intended to give you a general indication of the area within which you may locate the Site for the Studio. The site will be added to the Franchise Agreement once we accept it and you secure it.
Limited Territorial Protection. Once you have selected, and we have accepted, a Site in the Site Selection Area, and you have secured the Site, we will provide you an area in which you will have protected rights (the "Territory"). The size of your Territory may vary from the territory granted to other franchisees based on the location and demographics surrounding your Studio. Typically, the territory will be a geographic area encompassing (i) a population of approximately 50,000 people surrounding the applicable Studio or (ii) a two-mile radius from the front door of the Studio, whichever includes fewer people. However, in very high-density urban markets having a population above one million people, we might not provide any territory at all or might reduce the territory to no more than a city block. The sources we use to determine the population within your Territory will be publicly available population information (such as data published by the U.S. Census Bureau or other governmental agencies and commercial sources).
You will not receive an exclusive territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a prospective franchisee must first select a site within a non-exclusive Site Selection Area specified by Beem Light Sauna. This Site Selection Area provides a general indication of where the studio can be located, but it is not an exclusive territory.
To have the site accepted and added to the Franchise Agreement, Beem Light Sauna must approve the selected site, and the franchisee must secure it. Once these conditions are met, the site will be officially included in the Franchise Agreement. After the site is accepted and secured, Beem Light Sauna will grant the franchisee a Territory, which is an area where the franchisee will have protected rights.
It is important to note that the Territory size can vary based on location and demographics, typically encompassing a population of approximately 50,000 people or a two-mile radius from the studio, whichever is smaller. However, in high-density urban areas with populations over one million, Beem Light Sauna might not provide any territory or may reduce it to a city block. Franchisees should be aware that they will not receive an exclusive territory and may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels.
