Who must approve the PC candidate for a Dermani Medspa franchise?

We must approve the PC candidate. Under the Management Agreement, you will provide the PC with management and administrative services and support consistent with the System to support the PC's practice and its delivery of medical spa services and related products to clients at the dermani MEDSPA®, consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. The services the Franchised Business will provide to the dermani MEDSPA® include billing and collections, business planning, accounts payable management, bookkeeping and financial management, client records maintenance, management of administrative staff, arranging for the PC to obtain and maintain professional liability insurance, marketing and promotional activities, and arranging legal services and credentialing support. Unless otherwise approved by us, you must use our standard form of Management Agreement, but you may negotiate the monetary terms and, with our written consent, certain other terms of the relationship with the PC. It is your sole responsibility to make sure your Management Agreement is compliant with all state and local laws and must be reviewed by a healthcare attorney knowledgeable in the laws of the state you will be operating. You must have a Management Agreement in effect with a PC at all times during the operation of the Franchised Business and the term of the Franchise Agreement. The Management Agreement may not be signed by you or the PC until we have approved of the Management Agreement and its negotiated terms. In the event the Management Agreement with the PC is terminated during the initial term of your Franchise Agreement, you must enter into a new Management Agreement with a replacement PC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after you provide or receive notice that the Management Agreement with the original PC is being terminated.
