This Lease Rider (this "Rider") and the provisions hereof are hereby incorporated into the body of the lease to which this Rider is attached (the "Lease"), and the provisions hereof shall be cumulative of those set forth in the Lease, but to the extent of any conflict between any provisions of this Rider and the provisions of the Lease, this Rider shall govern and control.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Lease Rider is incorporated into the lease agreement for the franchise location. The document specifies that the provisions of the Lease Rider are cumulative to those in the Lease. However, should any conflict arise between the Lease Rider and the Lease, the Lease Rider will take precedence and govern the terms of the agreement.
This clause is significant for a prospective Face Foundrie franchisee because it clarifies the hierarchy of the lease documents. The Lease Rider is designed to protect the interests of both the franchisee and Face Foundrie by addressing specific issues related to the franchise operation. This ensures that the franchisor's requirements and standards are upheld, even if they differ from standard lease terms.
For a franchisee, this means that the terms outlined in the Lease Rider, which are likely tailored to the Face Foundrie franchise model, will supersede any conflicting terms in the standard lease. This could cover aspects such as signage, use of premises, and the franchisor's rights regarding the lease. Franchisees should carefully review both the Lease and the Lease Rider to understand their rights and obligations, paying close attention to any areas where the Rider modifies the original Lease terms.
