Dermani_Medspa Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
“Initial Term” ten (10) years from the Effective Date of this Agreement.
**13.3.
Refusal to Execute Successor Franchise Agreement.** We can refuse to execute any Successor Franchise Agreement with you if your lease, sublease or other document by which you have the right to occupy the Premises is not extended before your successor term is to take effect to cover the period of the successor term or if you do not have a written commitment from your landlord to renew the lease or sublease for a period at least equal to the successor term.
We may also refuse to execute any Successor Franchise Agreement with you under other circumstances, including, but not limited to, your failure to substantially comply with the terms of this Agreement, your failure to pay amounts owed to us when due, or your failure to cure of any defaults incurred during the initial term of this Agreement, if applicable.
- **13.4.
Renewal Under Law.** Even though we decline to grant you a successor term for the Franchised Business, it is possible that we can be required to do so under a law, rule, regulation, statute, ordinance, or legal order that is applicable at the time.
If that happens, to the extent it is allowed
by the applicable law, rule, regulation, statute, ordinance or order, your successor term will be subject to the conditions of the then-current franchise agreement we are using for new franchisees at the time the successor period begins. If we are not then offering new dermani MEDSPA® franchises, your successor period will be subject to the terms in the then-current franchise agreement that we indicate. If for any reason that is not allowed, the successor term will be governed by the terms of this Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dermani Medspa Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial term for a Dermani Medspa franchise agreement is ten years from the effective date of the agreement. This means that a franchisee will operate under the terms of the franchise agreement for a decade, provided they meet all obligations and standards set forth by Dermani Medspa.
After the initial ten-year term, Dermani Medspa's FDD states that they can refuse to execute any Successor Franchise Agreement if the franchisee's lease is not extended to cover the successor term, or if there is no written commitment from the landlord to renew the lease for a period at least equal to the successor term. Dermani Medspa may also refuse to execute a Successor Franchise Agreement if the franchisee fails to comply with the terms of the agreement, fails to pay amounts owed, or fails to cure any defaults incurred during the initial term.
However, the FDD also notes that even if Dermani Medspa declines to grant a successor term, a law, rule, regulation, statute, ordinance, or legal order might require them to do so. In such cases, the successor term will be subject to the conditions of the then-current franchise agreement for new franchisees. If Dermani Medspa is not offering new franchises at that time, the successor period will be subject to the terms in the then-current franchise agreement that Dermani Medspa indicates. If that is not allowed, the successor term will be governed by the terms of the original agreement.
