What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the Franchise Agreement is signed under specific circumstances related to the location of the Facial Bar or where the franchise was offered or sold. Specifically, an addendum is required if the Face Foundrie Facial Bar will be located in Maryland, New York, or Minnesota. Additionally, the addendum is required if any of the offering or sales activity related to the Franchise Agreement occurred in any of those three states.
These addenda modify certain sections of the standard Franchise Agreement to ensure compliance with state-specific franchise laws. For example, the Maryland addendum includes clauses related to releases, insolvency, forum for litigation, governing law, and limitation of claims, all tailored to Maryland's franchise regulations. Similarly, the New York addendum addresses releases and termination rights, while the Minnesota addendum covers releases, renewal and termination terms, notification of infringement claims, and forum for litigation, reflecting the franchise laws of those states.
For a prospective Face Foundrie franchisee, this means that the terms of their Franchise Agreement may vary depending on the state in which they operate or where the franchise was sold. It is crucial to carefully review the addendum applicable to their specific situation to understand any modifications to the standard agreement. This ensures that franchisees are aware of their rights and obligations under the relevant state laws, providing a more transparent and legally sound franchising relationship.
