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

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from using Aira Fitness's Marks when signing any contract, lease, mortgage, or other legal obligation. This restriction extends to checks, purchase agreements, negotiable instruments, and applications for licenses or permits.

This policy is in place to protect Aira Fitness from potential liability for any debts or obligations incurred by the franchisee. By preventing franchisees from using the Marks in these contexts, Aira Fitness aims to ensure that it is not held responsible for the franchisee's financial or contractual commitments. This is a common practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maintain a clear separation between their own liabilities and those of their franchisees.

The franchisee is required to conspicuously identify themselves as the owner of an independent Aira Fitness Business in all dealings with customers, employees, suppliers, and others. This includes placing notices of independent ownership on signs, forms, business cards, stationery, advertising, and other materials as required by Aira Fitness. This further reinforces the separation between the franchisor and franchisee in the eyes of the public and prevents any confusion about who is responsible for the business's obligations.

Therefore, prospective Aira Fitness franchisees should be aware that they cannot use the Aira Fitness Marks in any legally binding documents or financial instruments. They must clearly represent themselves as independent business owners operating under a franchise agreement with Aira Fitness.
