In each of the foregoing cases, Franchisor will have all remedies allowed at law, including termination of Franchisee's rights and Franchisor's obligations. No right or remedy which Franchisor may have (including termination) is exclusive of any other right or remedy provided under law or equity and Franchisor may pursue any rights and/or remedies available.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Face Foundrie Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee defaults on any agreement with Face Foundrie or any third-party agreement like a real estate lease or loan, Face Foundrie can consider it a breach of the Franchise Agreement. In such cases, Face Foundrie has all legal remedies available, including terminating the franchisee's rights and Face Foundrie's obligations. Face Foundrie's rights and remedies are not exclusive, allowing them to pursue any available legal or equitable options.

If a Face Foundrie franchisee breaches any obligation under the Franchise Agreement, Face Foundrie can suspend its performance of obligations, including the sale or supply of services or products, until the breach is corrected. Face Foundrie also has the right, but not the obligation, to take action to cure the breach, and the franchisee must reimburse Face Foundrie for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the cure or attempted cure.

Upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee must promptly return all materials containing proprietary or confidential information, discontinue all use of the Face Foundrie marks, and, at Face Foundrie's option, assign any interest in the lease for the premises to Face Foundrie. If Face Foundrie does not elect to acquire the lease, the franchisee must modify the premises to eliminate its identification as a Face Foundrie Facial Bar. Failure to do so allows Face Foundrie to take action and charge the franchisee for the costs. The franchisee must also refrain from operating under any name that may give the impression of a connection with Face Foundrie.
