According to the 2025 Dermani Medspa FDD, the specific terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreement are found within the agreement itself. Item 23 provides definitions of terms used in the agreement, indicating that the agreement contains defined terms. Item 1.1 states that the grant of development rights is made pursuant to the terms and conditions of "this Agreement." Item 12 discusses the territory granted during the term of the Franchise Agreement, and notes exceptions to territorial protection that are "otherwise provided in that agreement." Item 11 mentions several exhibits attached to the Franchise Agreement, such as Exhibit B (collateral assignment of lease) and Exhibit F (non-disclosure and non-competition covenants). Item 6 notes that if you sign an Area Development Agreement, you will later exercise each development right by executing Dermani Medspa's then-current form of Franchise Agreement. These references suggest that the Franchise Agreement itself contains the detailed terms and conditions governing the franchise relationship.
