What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee acknowledges that federal, state, and local laws may affect the operation of the Aira Fitness Business and may conflict with the franchisor's standards. These laws could also negatively impact the financial performance of the Aira Fitness Business. It is the franchisee's sole responsibility to identify, understand, and comply with all applicable laws both before and after purchasing the franchise.
The franchisee also confirms that they are not relying on any representation or warranty from Aira Fitness that its system or standards comply with applicable laws. If there is a conflict between Aira Fitness's standards and actual applicable law, the franchisee must comply with the law, notify Aira Fitness of the conflict, and cooperate in finding a way to meet the franchisor's standards within the bounds of the law.
This means that Aira Fitness franchisees bear the full responsibility for ensuring their business operations, including the lease agreement, adhere to all relevant legal requirements. This includes identifying potential conflicts between the franchise agreement and local laws, and taking appropriate action to ensure compliance. The franchisee cannot depend on Aira Fitness to guarantee legal compliance and must conduct their own due diligence.
