If Face Foundrie changes the System or standards of operation, how long does the franchisee have to comply?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must comply with changes to the System or standards of operation within a reasonable time frame as required by Face Foundrie. If Face Foundrie does not specify a time frame, the franchisee has thirty (30) days after receiving notification of the change to comply. This requirement ensures that all Face Foundrie Facial Bars maintain uniformity and adhere to the most current operational standards.

This requirement is further reinforced by the franchisee's agreement to operate the Facial Bar in accordance with the System and the Operations Manual, as it is now or hereafter established. This includes any specifications, standards, business practices, and policies. Face Foundrie retains the right to inspect the Facial Bar at reasonable times to ensure compliance and to test service offerings, equipment, systems, products, and supplies.

The Operations Manual, which contains information, standards, and specifications concerning the System and the operation of the Facial Bar, may be updated and changed periodically. Franchisees are expressly required to comply with each requirement within a reasonable time frame specified by Face Foundrie, or within thirty (30) days if no time is specified. Franchisees must also ensure their copy of the Operations Manual is current and kept in a secure location with restricted employee access to prevent unauthorized disclosure.

This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors need to maintain brand standards and consistency across all locations. It is important for prospective Face Foundrie franchisees to understand that they must be prepared to adapt their business practices to align with any changes implemented by Face Foundrie, and to do so within the specified timeframe to avoid potential issues or breaches of the franchise agreement.
