Dermani_Medspa Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We also may offer an area development agreement (the "Area Development Agreement") to qualified entities and persons (a "Developer"). The Area Development Agreement grants the right to establish and operate a specified number of Franchised Businesses that will manage dermani MEDSPA®s in a specified area (the "Development Area") at specific locations to be designated in separate Franchise Agreements. The form of Area Development Agreement that we intend to offer is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit B.
If you sign an Area Development Agreement, you must open each Franchised Business according to the schedule for developing Franchised Businesses described in Exhibit A to the Area Development Agreement (the "Development Schedule"). The Developer will exercise each development right by executing our then-current form of Franchise Agreement, which may materially differ from the current Franchise Agreement included in this disclosure document, for the establishment and operations of a Franchised Business.
The number of Franchised Businesses to be established under the Development Schedule will be mutually determined by you and us, based on the size of the Development Area, demographics and economic factor in the Development Area, expected demand for dermani MEDSPA®s, your desire and ability to develop and manage the dermani MEDSPA®s, and other factors. We require a minimum commitment of at least 2 Franchised Businesses to enter into an Area Development Agreement. During the term of the Area Development Agreement, you must manage and maintain at least the number of dermani MEDSPA®s which are required to be established according to the terms of the Development Schedule.
