ing Date, then we may terminate the Franchise Agreement or, in our sole discretion, provide you with an extension of time.
For each Franchised Business to be developed under the Area Development Agreement, we reserve the right to require that you submit to us, in the form that we specify, site approval forms and data that we specify, which may include a copy of a site plan, financial information and any other materials that we may require, together with an option contract, a letter of intent, term sheet, or other evidence satisfactory to us which describes your favorable prospects for obtaining the site, and any other information and materials that we may reasonably require.

We reserve the right to provide guidance to assist you in working with designated contractors and suppliers to complete the development and build out of the dermani MEDSPA®s you will manage. If
you sign an Area Development Agreement, then the selection and approval of a site that may become the Premises under a Franchise Agreement entered into under the Area Development Agreement will be governed by the Area Development Agreement and our then-current site review and approval procedures set forth in the Manuals. In addition, the time frames and time limits described in the Development Schedule, and not those in the site selection provisions of the Franchise Agreement, will apply to the opening of dermani MEDSPA®s under the Area Development Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after a prospective franchisee submits the required site approval forms and data, Dermani Medspa has 30 days to approve or disapprove the proposed site. This information and materials include a copy of a site plan and financial materials, such as a letter of intent, that confirm the franchisee's prospects for obtaining the site. The approval or disapproval is at Dermani Medspa's sole discretion.
This means that a Dermani Medspa franchisee needs to locate a site that meets the franchisor's standards and submit all required documentation. The franchisee should factor this 30-day approval period into their timeline when securing a location. The franchisee cannot use a site for their Dermani Medspa location unless Dermani Medspa Franchising LLC first approves it in writing.
The FDD also clarifies that Dermani Medspa's approval of a location does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of the franchisee's success or profitability at that location. The approval only signifies that the site meets Dermani Medspa's minimum criteria at the time of approval. The franchisee is responsible for their own investigation of the site's suitability.
Prospective Dermani Medspa franchisees should carefully review the site selection guidelines and approval process with the franchisor to fully understand the criteria and requirements for site approval. Franchisees should also consider engaging a real estate broker experienced in franchise site selection to assist them in finding and securing a suitable location.
