What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must establish a broadband internet connection and use the company's established domain email accounts. While Deka Lash does not currently specify a particular internet vendor, they retain the right to do so in the future.
This means that initially, franchisees have the flexibility to choose their own internet service provider. However, Deka Lash maintains the option to mandate a specific vendor later on. If Deka Lash were to exercise this right, franchisees would be obligated to switch to the mandated vendor.
It is important for prospective franchisees to consider this potential change, as switching vendors could involve costs or disruptions. Franchisees should inquire about the circumstances under which Deka Lash might specify a particular vendor and whether Deka Lash would bear any of the costs associated with such a change.
