In the event of termination of the Dermani Medspa Franchise Agreement, what action must the franchisee take regarding telephone numbers and listings?

According to the 2025 Dermani Medspa Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee is required to notify the telephone company, all telephone directory publishers, social media, other online listings, and all domain name registries and internet service providers as necessary. This action is essential to ensure that there is a clear distinction between the former Dermani Medspa franchise and other businesses, preventing public confusion.

Additionally, Dermani Medspa retains significant control over telephone listings and internet presence. The franchisee must execute documents that grant Dermani Medspa power of attorney to manage telephone numbers and related business listings upon termination or expiration of the agreement. This includes assigning all rights to telephone numbers, internet listings, domain names, internet accounts, and email addresses to Dermani Medspa. The franchisee is also restricted from establishing any website or online listing without the express written consent of Dermani Medspa, which may be denied without reason.

The Telephone Listing Agreement survives the termination of the Franchise Agreement, meaning the obligations related to telephone numbers and listings continue even after the franchise relationship ends. Dermani Medspa is not obligated to accept the transfer of the franchisee's interest in telephone numbers and listings. The franchisee also directs telephone companies to accept Dermani Medspa's written statement as conclusive proof of the Franchise Agreement's termination.

These stipulations ensure that Dermani Medspa maintains control over its brand identity and customer communication channels, even after a franchise agreement concludes. For a prospective franchisee, this means understanding that upon exiting the Dermani Medspa system, they will need to transfer control of all related telephone and online assets to the franchisor and actively work to distinguish their future business endeavors from the Dermani Medspa brand.
