What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several franchisee representations and warranties can trigger an Event of Default. Specifically, if the franchisee provides inaccurate ownership information, it can lead to default. The franchisee must keep ownership details current and accurate.
Additionally, the franchisee represents, warrants, and covenants to Aira Fitness that all obligations for telephone services are current, they have the legal right to enter into the agreement, the agreement is binding, and the agreement doesn't conflict with other obligations. Breaching these representations can also trigger default.
Furthermore, making any material misrepresentation or omission in the franchise application or any other report to Aira Fitness can result in immediate termination with no opportunity to cure the default. This underscores the importance of honesty and accuracy in all dealings with Aira Fitness during the application process and throughout the franchise term. Intentionally underreporting membership sales or gross sales, falsifying financial data, or otherwise committing an act of fraud with respect to your acquisition of this franchise or your rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any understatement or 2% variance on a subsequent audit within a two- year period under Section 10.C. can also trigger an immediate termination.
