What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a default occurs under the Franchise Agreement, the Guarantor(s) are obligated to diligently cure such default at their sole cost and expense. This is part of the Guaranty, which is an unconditional and absolute warrant to Aira Fitness Franchising LLC that the Developer will punctually pay and perform in full each undertaking, agreement, and covenant in the Franchise Agreement.
The Guaranty is considered an original and independent obligation of the Guarantor(s), separate from the Developer's obligations. This obligation remains in effect until all obligations of the Guarantor to Aira Fitness have been fully performed. The Guarantor also authorizes Aira Fitness to make changes to the Franchise Agreement, compromise, renew, extend, or otherwise alter the terms without lessening the Guarantor's liability.
Furthermore, the Guarantor represents and warrants that no agreements limit the terms of the Guaranty and that the Guaranty is executed at the Developer's request, without which Aira Fitness would not execute the Franchise Agreement. The Guarantor also agrees not to dispose of assets if it would negatively affect their ability to perform their obligations under the Guaranty. This arrangement ensures that Aira Fitness has a direct recourse to ensure all financial and performance obligations are met, adding a layer of security for the franchisor.
