payment instructions.

    1. "Gross Sales" means all revenue that you receive, directly or indirectly, from operating your CYDF Facial Bar, including all amounts or other consideration you receive at or away from the Premises, and whether from cash, check, credit and debit card, barter exchange,

trade credit, or other credit transactions. Gross Sales includes the proceeds of any business interruption insurance or similar insurance. Gross Sales will also include amounts you earn from the sale of any online group-bought deals (e.g., Groupon or LivingSocial) and the sale of any gift cards or gift certificates, in each case calculated using our then current guidelines for calculating Gross Sales, which may include calculating such amounts, at our option, as either (i) the purchasing value of such the certificate, card or deal when it is redeemed at your CYDF Facial Bar; or (ii) the amount of the payment you received for such certificate, card or deal at the time of its sale. Gross Sales does not, however, include any federal, state, or municipal sales, use or service taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority. We will require that you provide your profit and loss statements to us on a monthly basis for our review in a manner that we prescribe. If we cease to have access to your Gross Sales via the Computer System (defined in Item 11) and you fail to report your CYDF Facial Bar's Gross Sales when due, then for each payment calculated based on Gross Sales, we may debit your CYDF Facial Bar account 110% of the average of the last 3 applicable payments we debited. If the amount we debit is more than the amount you actually owe us, we will credit the excess against the amounts we otherwise would debit from your account on the next payment due date.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Gross Sales encompass all revenue received, directly or indirectly, from operating the CYDF Facial Bar. This includes all amounts or other forms of payment received at or away from the premises, regardless of whether the payment is made via cash, check, credit and debit card, barter exchange, trade credit, or other credit transactions. Gross Sales also include proceeds from business interruption insurance or similar insurance policies.

Specifically, Gross Sales include revenue from online group-bought deals, such as Groupon or LivingSocial, and the sale of gift cards or gift certificates. The calculation of Gross Sales from these sources will follow Clean Your Dirty Face's guidelines, which may involve calculating the amounts based on either the purchasing value of the certificate, card, or deal when redeemed at the CYDF Facial Bar, or the amount of payment received for such items at the time of sale.

However, Gross Sales do not include any federal, state, or municipal sales, use, or service taxes collected from customers and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. Franchisees are required to provide monthly profit and loss statements to Clean Your Dirty Face for review. If Clean Your Dirty Face loses access to a franchisee's Gross Sales data through the computer system and the franchisee fails to report their Gross Sales when due, Clean Your Dirty Face may debit the franchisee's account 110% of the average of the last three applicable payments. Any overage debited will be credited against future payments.
