What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Buff City Soap's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit G of the Franchise Agreement contains information regarding the Protected Area and Premises. Upon Buff City Soap's approval of the premises and the parties' execution of Exhibit G identifying the location of the premises, the franchisee's protected area will be described in Exhibit G and deemed incorporated in the agreement.

The franchisee must operate their Buff City Soap makery at a site within the Designated Area. Except as otherwise provided in the agreement, neither Buff City Soap nor any affiliate will operate or authorize any person other than the franchisee to operate a Buff City Soap makery in the Designated Area until the franchisee's Protected Area is identified. After the Protected Area is identified, Buff City Soap will not operate or authorize any person other than the franchisee to operate a Buff City Soap makery in the Protected Area during the term of the agreement. This does not apply to any Buff City Soap makeries operating or in development by any person within the Designated Area as of the effective date.

The Protected Area affects where the franchisee may solicit business and sell products and services. The franchisee can sell services and products to anyone from anywhere as long as such sales do not result from any direct solicitation activities outside of the franchisee's Protected Area and the services provided and products sold are being performed within the Protected Area. The franchisee is prohibited from soliciting and marketing by any means outside of its Protected Area and must not specifically engage in target marketing within the Protected Area of another Buff City Soap Makery. Target Marketing means a concerted effort by a franchisee to solicit and obtain customers through any type of advertisement or marketing, directed at all or a portion of another franchisee's Protected Area.
