- 3.1 Location for Franchise Premises. You will operate your Franchised Business at the Franchise Location that we have approved as designated in Section 2 of the Schedule 1 of this Franchise Agreement.

- 3.2 Permitted Uses. You may operate the Franchised Business only at the approved site and may not relocate without our approval. You must sell approved products and provide approved services only at the Deka Lash studio you operate under a Franchise Agreement with us.

We will not normally approve the relocation of the Franchised Business unless there is a material change in economic or other factors affecting your outlet. We will not normally allow you to open additional outlets within your Protected Area. If you lose possession of the Location through no fault of your own, or if we give our approval, you may apply to us for our approval to relocate your business to another site in the designated area, provided such a site is available. We will approve or disapprove the relocation of your outlet, typically within 14 business days of your submission of the required site selection documents required by us.
- 3.4 Protected Area/Exclusive Territory. There will be a "Protected Area" around your Franchised Business as defined in Schedule 1, Section 3. The area or population included in each Protected Area will vary. The Protected Area is generally a 1.5-mile radius.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, Deka Lash bases site approval on criteria found in their manual. The franchisee is responsible for locating and securing a franchise site and must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations.
The franchisee must operate the Deka Lash business only from the approved site and cannot relocate without Deka Lash's approval. Relocation is typically only approved if there is a significant change in economic or other factors affecting the outlet. If the franchisee loses possession of the location through no fault of their own, they may apply to relocate to another site in the designated area, subject to Deka Lash's approval, which typically takes 14 business days after submitting the required documents.
Each Deka Lash franchise has a "Protected Area" around the business, as defined in Schedule 1, Section 3 of the Franchise Agreement. This protected area is generally a 1.5-mile radius, but Deka Lash reserves the right to change the size of the Protected Area based on the demographics and development of each market. Deka Lash will not normally allow a franchisee to open additional outlets within their Protected Area.
