What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Face Foundrie FDD, a franchisee is restricted in how they can use the brand's Marks. Specifically, the franchisee must use the Marks as the sole identification of their Facial Bar and identify themselves as the independent owner in the manner Face Foundrie prescribes. They are only allowed to use the Marks as Face Foundrie prescribes in connection with the Facial Bar and the sale of authorized products and services.
Furthermore, the franchisee is prohibited from using any Mark, or any abbreviation, modification, or colorable imitation of it, as part of any corporate or legal business name. This restriction extends to any other manner, including any Internet-related use such as an electronic media identifier, for websites, web pages, or domain names, unless expressly authorized by Face Foundrie in writing.
Additionally, the Face Foundrie franchisee cannot include the Marks on any employment- or personnel-related documents. This includes employment applications, employment agreements, or methods of payment to its employees. This ensures that there is no confusion that the employee works for the franchisee and not Face Foundrie itself.
