  • 3.01 Site Selection. Franchisee acknowledges that, other than providing its criteria for site approval for the Facial Bar, Franchisor provides no site-selection assistance. To that end, Franchisor will not visit the search area and Franchisee will be responsible to identify, and ultimately acquire, an appropriate site, acceptable to Franchisor, for the Facial Bar's operation. As Franchisee identifies prospective sites, it will notify Franchisor, and Franchisor will review criteria about the prospective sites that Franchisor deems appropriate. Franchisee will assist Franchisor by providing Franchisor any information Franchisor requests about any prospective sites. If Franchisor has not approved a site within thirty (30) days after Franchisee provides Franchisor with all information Franchisor requested about the site, the site shall be deemed disapproved. Franchisee acknowledges and agrees Franchisor will not be responsible for Franchisee's results in operating at any particular site that Franchisor may have recommended, reviewed, or approved.
