Clean_Your_Dirty_Face Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We, our affiliates, or our designees may establish a local advertising cooperative ("Local Advertising Cooperative") in geographical areas in which 2 or more CYDF Facial Bars are operating. The Local Advertising Cooperative will be organized and governed by written documents and will begin operating on a date that we determine in advance. These written documents will be available for participating franchisees to review. We may change, dissolve, merge and reinstate any Local Advertising Cooperatives. Each Local Advertising Cooperative's purpose is, with our approval, to administer advertising programs and develop advertising, marketing and promotional materials for the area that the Local Advertising Cooperative covers. If we have established a Local Advertising Cooperative for the geographic area in which your CYDF Facial Bar is located, as of the time you sign the Franchise Agreement, or if we establish a Local Advertising Cooperative in that area during the Franchise Agreement's term, you must sign the documents we require to become a member of the Local Advertising Cooperative and to participate in the Local Advertising Cooperative as we require.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Clean Your Dirty Face FDD, the franchisor determines when a Local Advertising Cooperative will begin operating. Specifically, Clean Your Dirty Face, its affiliates, or its designees can establish a Local Advertising Cooperative in areas where at least two Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bars are operating. The cooperative's operations will commence on a date determined in advance by Clean Your Dirty Face.
If a Local Advertising Cooperative is established in a franchisee's area, the franchisee is obligated to join and participate as required by Clean Your Dirty Face. This includes signing necessary documents and contributing a share to the cooperative, with the amount determined by the Local Advertising Cooperative itself, subject to Clean Your Dirty Face's approval. The contribution is paid in the same manner as the royalty fees.
Each Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar contributing to a Local Advertising Cooperative has one vote on matters concerning the cooperative's activities. However, all advertising, marketing, and promotional plans or materials must receive Clean Your Dirty Face's prior written consent. While the Local Advertising Cooperative has authority over creative concepts and materials, this is subject to Clean Your Dirty Face's approval and the availability of funds. This setup ensures that Clean Your Dirty Face maintains control over the brand's image and marketing strategies, even within local advertising efforts.
