What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific guidelines regarding their online presence. Clean Your Dirty Face maintains control over the online space related to the brand. Franchisees are generally prohibited from independently developing or maintaining any online presence that mentions their business, links to the franchise system website, or displays any of the Clean Your Dirty Face marks without express written approval from the franchisor. This restriction ensures brand consistency and quality control across all digital platforms. If a franchisee violates this, Clean Your Dirty Face can remove the webpage from any or all Franchise System Website(s) until the default is cured, and will permanently remove the webpage upon expiration or termination of the agreement.

If Clean Your Dirty Face approves a franchisee's use of an online presence, the franchisee must develop and maintain it according to the franchisor's then-current online presence policy, which may be modified periodically. This policy includes guidelines for posting messages or commentary on third-party websites and for maintaining privacy policies and terms of use. Clean Your Dirty Face retains ownership of all rights to any approved online presence and may require the franchisee to grant access or take actions, such as signing documents, to evidence this ownership or help Clean Your Dirty Face obtain exclusive rights.

Clean Your Dirty Face may establish Franchise System Websites to promote CYDF Facial Bars. While Clean Your Dirty Face is not required to provide franchisees with a webpage on a Franchise System Website, if they do, the franchisee must provide requested information and materials to develop, update, and modify the webpage, and notify Clean Your Dirty Face of any inaccuracies or changes to the content. Clean Your Dirty Face retains final approval rights over all information on any Franchise System Website, including the franchisee's webpage, and may update or modify the website periodically. Franchisees must comply with all System Standards related to Franchise System Websites and remain in full compliance with the Franchise Agreement to maintain their webpage.

Clean Your Dirty Face also reserves the right to require franchisees to use an email address associated with their registered domain name, under the franchisor's terms and conditions and System Standards. Clean Your Dirty Face has unrestricted access to and sole ownership of all such email accounts and may deactivate any account or limit access at any time. They also reserve the right to charge a fee for each email address provided.
