Under what condition may Buff City Soap revoke its acceptance of a proposed site?

According to the 2025 Buff City Soap FDD, Buff City Soap may revoke its acceptance of a proposed site if the franchisee defaults on the Franchise Agreement and fails to correct the default within the specified cure period. This means that even after Buff City Soap has approved a location for the makery, they can withdraw their approval if the franchisee violates the terms of the agreement and does not fix the issue in the allotted time.

This condition protects Buff City Soap from potential issues arising from a franchisee's failure to uphold their obligations. For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding and adhering to the terms of the Franchise Agreement to avoid losing an approved site. Defaulting on the agreement could include various violations, such as failure to meet financial obligations, not adhering to operational standards, or any other breach of contract.

It is important to note that Buff City Soap's approval of a site does not guarantee the makery's profitability or success. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring the site is free from environmental contamination and complies with all applicable laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This underscores the franchisee's responsibility to conduct thorough due diligence on the site before proceeding with development. The franchisee should seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of defaulting on the agreement and the potential consequences of losing site approval.
