Where in the Degree Wellness Franchise Agreement can I find a further description of the advertising fund and advertising obligations?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a more detailed explanation of the advertising fund and a franchisee's advertising responsibilities can be found in Section 11 of the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, Paragraph 6.3a mentions that a further description of the Fund and your obligations with respect to advertising and promoting the Franchise is found in Section 11 of this Agreement. This directs prospective franchisees to a specific section within the agreement for more comprehensive information.

Section 11 elaborates on Degree Wellness's role in advertising, stating that the company will establish and manage an advertising fund (the "Fund") to support marketing programs at the national, regional, or local levels.

Section 11 also addresses advertising by the franchisee. It is important for a prospective franchisee to carefully review Section 11 of the Franchise Agreement to fully understand their obligations and Degree Wellness's rights regarding advertising and promotion. This includes understanding the contribution requirements, the extent of Degree Wellness's control over advertising content and placement, and any requirements for local advertising efforts by the franchisee.
