What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any recommendations or assistance the company provides regarding site selection for a franchise location does not constitute a representation or warranty of the site's suitability. This means that while Clean Your Dirty Face may offer guidance, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for independently verifying that the chosen location is appropriate for their business. Franchisees should not rely solely on the franchisor's advice but should conduct their own due diligence.
Clean Your Dirty Face states that their recommendations only indicate a belief that the site meets their acceptable criteria at that time. These criteria may change, and factors considered effective for other locations might not guarantee success for a new site. The FDD makes it clear that the uncertainty and variability of these criteria are beyond Clean Your Dirty Face's control.
This disclaimer protects Clean Your Dirty Face from liability if a recommended site fails to meet a franchisee's expectations. It highlights the inherent risks in site selection and emphasizes that franchisees must take ownership of the decision. This is a common practice in franchising, as franchisors often provide site selection assistance but cannot guarantee the success of a location due to various market factors and local conditions.
