Is an Aira Fitness franchisee authorized to use the Aira Fitness Marks in signing any contract, lease, or mortgage?

According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from using Aira Fitness Marks in signing any contract, lease, mortgage, or other legal obligation. This restriction is in place to protect Aira Fitness from potential liability for any debts or obligations incurred by the franchisee.

This means that when an Aira Fitness franchisee enters into any agreement, they cannot use the Aira Fitness brand name or logo in a way that could make Aira Fitness responsible for the franchisee's financial commitments. This includes, but is not limited to, contracts with suppliers, lease agreements for the business location, and any mortgages taken out to finance the business.

The franchisee must operate as an independent entity and ensure that all parties they deal with understand that Aira Fitness is not liable for their business's debts or obligations. This is a common practice in franchising, as it helps to maintain a clear distinction between the franchisor's and franchisee's financial responsibilities. Franchisees must identify themselves as the owner of an independent Aira Fitness business in all dealings with potential and existing customers, employees, suppliers, and others.
