To what do references to section numbers and headings refer in the Face Foundrie franchise agreement?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, references to section numbers and headings within the franchise agreement specifically pertain to sections within that agreement, unless the context suggests otherwise. This means that when reviewing the Face Foundrie franchise agreement, franchisees should understand that any mention of a 'section' refers to a specific part of that document.

The FDD also clarifies that captions and section headings are included solely for convenience and are not considered part of the agreement itself. Therefore, these headings should not be used when interpreting the agreement's terms. This distinction is important because it ensures that the legally binding content of the agreement is found in the body of the sections, not in the headings or captions.

This clause aims to prevent disputes arising from the interpretation of headings or captions. Face Foundrie wants franchisees to focus on the actual text within each section to understand their rights and obligations. Franchisees should carefully read each section of the agreement to fully understand their responsibilities and the franchisor's expectations.
