What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to accept modifications to the System, including the adoption of new Marks. Face Foundrie retains the right to change, modify, or improve the System, which includes modifications to the Operations Manual, processes, systems, products, services, equipment, signage, and the presentation and usage of the Marks. This also includes the adoption and use of new, modified, or substituted Marks or other proprietary materials.
As a Face Foundrie franchisee, you must accept and implement these changes, modifications, or improvements to the System, including adopting new Marks. These changes are considered part of the System as if they were in place from the beginning of the agreement.
Furthermore, franchisees are responsible for any expenditures required to implement these changes or modifications. This means that if Face Foundrie introduces a new point-of-sale system or requires updated signage with new branding, the franchisee will bear the costs associated with these updates. This clause ensures that the Face Foundrie system remains uniform and up-to-date across all franchise locations, but it also places a financial responsibility on the franchisee to adapt to these changes.
