You must obtain and maintain a site acceptable to us for your CYDF Facial Bar. If a site for your CYDF Facial Bar has not been selected by the date you sign the Franchise Agreement, you must submit to us a complete report for a site you propose. We will use reasonable efforts to accept or not accept a proposed site within 30 days after receiving your site report. Our determination to approve or disapprove a site may be based on various criteria, which we may change, including business count, traffic count, accessibility, parking, visibility, competition and license availability. You must send us all information we require for the proposed site. We do not typically own the site where your CYDF Facial Bar is located and lease it to you.
You must obtain our written approval of a proposed site for your CYDF Facial Bar before signing any lease, sublease, or other document for the site. We may require that you hire a serviceprovider that we designate to assist you with the site selection process. Sites selected using the assistance of our designee must still be approved by us. We must also approve the lease for your site. Our approval of a lease is conditioned upon the inclusion of certain lease terms required by us pursuant to a form of lease addendum attached as Exhibit E to the Franchise Agreement. These lease terms will include a collateral assignment of lease.
You must obtain our written approval of your CYDF Facial Bar's proposed site and sign a lease we approve for that premises within 60 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. You must deliver to us a signed copy of the lease within 10 days after its execution. If you have not received our approval of your CYDF Facial Bar's proposed site and lease within 60 days after signing the Franchise Agreement, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement upon notice to you.
