Which items in the Itan Disclosure Document discuss the franchisee's obligation for opening the franchise?

According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 outlines the franchisee's obligations, including those related to opening the franchise. Specifically, obligation (e), "Opening," is directly linked to Item 11 of the Disclosure Document, as well as Section 4 of the ADA (presumably the Area Development Agreement).

Item 9 provides a table that cross-references franchisee obligations with specific sections in both the Franchise Agreement (FA) and the Area Development Agreement (ADA), where applicable, and also indicates which items in the Disclosure Document address each obligation. This table serves as a roadmap for franchisees to understand where to find information about their responsibilities in both the legal agreements and the disclosure document itself.

By referring to Item 9, a prospective Itan franchisee can quickly identify that Item 11 of the FDD contains details about their obligations related to the opening of their Itan salon. This allows the franchisee to focus their review on the most relevant sections of the FDD and franchise agreement, ensuring they understand their duties and responsibilities before signing the agreement.
