In addition to the POS System, we require that you purchase from designated or approved sources, certain branded hair care products and other proprietary hair care accessories that we have developed ("Proprietary Items"). Lefty's is currently a manufacturer of Proprietary Items. Salon Innovations, Inc. (dba Pro47), a hair care products distribution company based in Minnesota which is unaffiliated with us, is the designated supplier of the Proprietary Items manufactured by Lefty's. We reserve the right to change or designate suppliers (including changing the suppliers to us or our affiliates) at our discretion in the future. We refrain from divulging the formulations for Proprietary Items because we maintain the formulations as trade secrets. Pro47 charges standard and customary prices for a professional hair care line selling directly to a volume purchasing group of salons. Pro47 charges the same prices to franchised Barbershops as it charges to company and affiliate-owned Barbershops.
