What This Means (2024 FDD)

As a franchisee, you are granted the right to use this trademark, among others, under the franchise agreement. However, DL IP Holdings, LLC owns the trademarks and licenses them to Deka Lash through a written agreement. This license agreement has a one-year term that automatically renews unless either party terminates it with a 30-day written notice.
The FDD emphasizes that if the License Agreement is terminated, franchisees could lose the right to use the trademarks. This highlights a potential risk for franchisees, as their ability to operate under the Deka Lash brand is contingent upon the continuation of the licensing agreement between Deka Lash and DL IP Holdings, LLC. Franchisees should be aware of this dependency and consider the implications of a possible termination of the agreement.
