What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document, System Supplies must be exclusively utilized, maintained, and stocked in inventory at the franchisee's Spa Location. The quantities of these supplies are to be determined by C3 Wellness Spa, in its Reasonable Business Judgment, and may be modified from time to time.
This means that a C3 Wellness Spa franchisee is obligated to ensure that their spa location is the sole place where System Supplies are used, kept, and available. This requirement ensures consistency across all franchise locations and adherence to the franchisor's standards.
Furthermore, the franchisee must purchase these System Supplies exclusively from suppliers and vendors approved and designated by C3 Wellness Spa. This control over supply sources allows C3 Wellness Spa to maintain quality control and uniformity in the products and services offered at all franchised locations. The franchisee must also ensure that the Approved Spa Products and Services are provided, administered, and supervised by Authorized Care Providers in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
