What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement acknowledges that the business may be impacted by risks outside of the control of both the franchisor and franchisee. These risks include local, national, or global economic, political, or social disruptions, such as the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. The document further states that these disruptions and any preventative or remedial actions taken by the government may lead to business interruptions, reduced customer demand, and reduced operations for Dermani Medspa locations.
The FDD indicates that such disruptions may also require Dermani Medspa to take actions not originally contemplated in the Franchise Agreement. The extent of the impact on the Dermani Medspa system and an individual franchise will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and unpredictable.
While the FDD acknowledges potential disruptions and their impact, it does not explicitly detail any specific exceptions to the extension of performance obligations due to "acts of God" or similar events. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding specific provisions or addenda that address such scenarios and how they might affect the franchisee's obligations and timelines.
