Payment of Initial Franchise/Development Fees will be deferred until Franchisor has met its initial obligations to franchisee, and franchisee has commenced doing business. This financial assurance requirement was imposed by the Office of the Illinois Attorney General due to Franchisor's financial condition.
Illinois law governs the Franchise Agreement and Multi-Unit Development Agreement. In conformance with Section 4 of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act, any provision in a franchise agreement that designates jurisdiction and venue in a forum outside of the State of Illinois is void. However, a franchise agreement may provide for arbitration to take place outside of Illinois.
Your rights upon Termination and Non-Renewal of an agreement are set forth in sections 19 and 20 of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) includes several addenda that modify the Franchise Agreement and Multi-Unit Development Agreement for franchisees in specific states. These addenda address state-specific laws and regulations that may supersede the standard agreements.
For instance, the FDD contains addenda for Hawaii, Illinois, New York, North Dakota, Virginia, and Wisconsin. These addenda modify specific sections of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, such as those concerning governing law, jurisdiction, transferability, post-termination covenants, and franchisee rights upon termination or non-renewal. The Illinois addendum specifies that Illinois law governs both the Franchise Agreement and the Multi-Unit Development Agreement.
These addenda are included as exhibits to Item 17 of the Aira Fitness FDD. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the addendum (if any) for their state to understand how the standard agreements are modified to comply with local laws. It is important to note that the franchisor may also negotiate terms with prospective franchisees, but cannot offer terms less favorable than those in the FDD.
