According to the 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor, Aryes Franchising LLC, is not responsible for managing the C3 Wellness Business. The FDD outlines that the franchisee is solely and exclusively responsible for the safety and security measures for employees, customers, and the general public at the C3 Wellness Spa location. The franchisor explicitly states that it does not share any responsibility for these obligations.

Furthermore, the sample confidentiality agreement included in the FDD clarifies the relationship between the franchisee, its employees, and the franchisor. The agreement states that the franchisee independently owns and operates the C3 Wellness Business. It also specifies that Aryes Franchising LLC is not a party to the confidentiality agreement and does not own or manage the C3 Wellness Business but is an intended third-party beneficiary of the agreement.

This arrangement is typical in franchising, where franchisees are independent business owners responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of their specific locations. The franchisor's role is primarily to provide the brand, system, and support, while the franchisee manages the business. This division of responsibilities allows the franchisor to expand the brand without directly managing each location, while also giving the franchisee a degree of autonomy in running their business.
