What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dermani Medspa FDD, Dermani Medspa maintains strict control over the use of its trademarks, service marks, and commercial symbols, collectively known as the "Marks." Dermani Medspa requires franchisees to use the Marks as the Franchised Business's sole identification, with the exception that franchisees must identify themselves or their entity as the independent owner of the Franchised Business in a manner prescribed by Dermani Medspa.
The FDD specifies several limitations on how a franchisee can use the Marks. The franchisee's use of the Marks is restricted to activities related to the management and administrative support of the Medspa and cannot be explicitly or implicitly related to providing medical services. Franchisees are prohibited from using the Marks, derivatives, or similar marks in several ways, including as part of any corporate or legal business name, with unauthorized prefixes or suffixes, in selling unauthorized services or products, as part of any domain name or website address, or in any other manner not expressly authorized in writing by Dermani Medspa.
Dermani Medspa also regulates the display of the Marks. Franchisees must prominently display the Marks as prescribed by Dermani Medspa at the Franchised Business and on forms, advertising, supplies, and other designated materials. Additionally, franchisees are required to provide notices of trade and service mark registrations as specified by Dermani Medspa and to obtain any fictitious or assumed name registrations required by law. These regulations ensure consistent brand representation and protect Dermani Medspa's intellectual property rights.
