What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Area Developer seeks specific development rights to open and operate Face Foundrie Facial Bars. The Area Developer wants to utilize Face Foundrie's established system, trademarks (the "Marks"), and distinctive features. In exchange, the Area Developer agrees to develop a certain number of Face Foundrie Facial Bars as outlined in Exhibit A of the Area Development Agreement. These rights are granted under the condition that the Area Developer adheres to the terms and conditions of the Area Development Agreement.

The grant of development rights includes the obligation to develop a minimum number of Face Foundrie Facial Bars, with each bar operating under a separate Franchise Agreement. The Area Developer must execute the Franchise Agreement for each location by the deadlines specified in the Development Schedule (Paragraph 1 of Exhibit A). Each Face Foundrie Facial Bar must be at a specific location within the Development Area, as defined in Paragraph 2 of Exhibit A. The Area Developer's rights to a protected territory are contingent upon Face Foundrie designating a Development Area.

However, the Area Development Agreement is not a Franchise Agreement and does not grant the Area Developer the right to use the Marks or the System to sell or distribute any products or services. These rights are granted solely under the terms of the Franchise Agreement. Face Foundrie also retains specific rights, including the right to develop, use, and franchise trade names, trademarks, service marks, and other intellectual property not designated as Marks, even within the Development Area. Face Foundrie can also operate or franchise other businesses offering different products or services under different marks, and sell products or services identified by the Marks through various distribution channels, as long as these sales are not made from a Face Foundrie Facial Bar located in the Development Area.
