Clean_Your_Dirty_Face Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you would like to purchase or use any products, services, supplies or materials from any unapproved supplier, you must submit to us a written request for approval of the proposed supplier prior to purchasing any such products, services, supplies or materials. We reserve the right to charge you a fee (not to exceed the reasonable cost of the research and inspection and the actual cost of the test) to make the evaluation. We have the right to inspect the proposed supplier's facilities and to require that product samples from the proposed supplier be delivered either directly to us or to a third party we designate for testing. We will notify you in writing of the approval or disapproval of the proposed supplier within a reasonable time after completion of the investigation. If we fail to respond within sixty (60) days, your request will be deemed denied. We may elect to withhold approval of the supplier, in our sole discretion and for any reason. You acknowledge that we are likely to reject your request for a new supplier without conducting any investigation if we have already designated an exclusive supplier for that product or service. We reserve the right to periodically re-inspect the facilities and products of any approved supplier and to revoke our approval if the supplier does not continue to meet any of our criteria. We also reserve the right to charge suppliers a royalty for the right to manufacture products for use in the CYDF Facial Bars.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants to use a supplier that is not already approved, they must submit a written request for approval. Clean Your Dirty Face has the right to charge a fee to evaluate the supplier, but the fee cannot exceed the reasonable cost of the research and inspection, including the actual cost of the test. Clean Your Dirty Face also has the right to inspect the supplier's facilities and require product samples for testing.
Clean Your Dirty Face will then notify the franchisee in writing whether the proposed supplier has been approved or disapproved. This notification will occur within a reasonable time after the investigation is complete. However, if the franchisee does not receive a response within sixty (60) days, the request will be considered denied.
Clean Your Dirty Face maintains the right to deny approval of a supplier at its discretion and for any reason. The document also states that Clean Your Dirty Face is likely to reject a request without investigation if an exclusive supplier has already been designated for the product or service in question. Approved suppliers may also be re-inspected periodically, and approval can be revoked if they no longer meet Clean Your Dirty Face's criteria. Clean Your Dirty Face also reserves the right to charge suppliers a royalty for the right to manufacture products for use in the CYDF Facial Bars.
