If a delay results from a force majeure event, does the Aira Fitness agreement term get extended?

Aira_Fitness Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

If a party's default under this Agreement (other than your obligations with respect to insurance and indemnification, to obtain a site and open the Aira Fitness Business within a specified period, and to pay all fees and other amounts due to us and our affiliates under this Agreement and any other agreement between you and us or our affiliates), is caused in whole or in part by a force majeure, such default and any right of the other party to terminate this Agreement for such default is suspended for as long as the default is reasonably caused by such force majeure.

Any suspension is effective only from the delivery of a notice of the force majeure to the other party stating the party's intention to invoke the force majeure.

However, if such suspension continues for longer than six months and the default still exists, either party has the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.

Events of force majeure are those that cannot be prevented, avoided or removed by the party invoking the force majeure despite the exercise of reasonably diligence, including acts of God, actions of the elements, cyber-attacks, lockouts, strikes, wars, riots, acts of terrorism, civil commotion, and acts of governmental authorities (not including a governmental authority's delaying or refusing to grant building permits, licenses and other permissions and approvals), and except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement term may be affected by a force majeure event. If a party's failure to meet obligations (excluding insurance, indemnification, securing a site, opening the Aira Fitness Business on time, and paying fees) is due to a force majeure, the failure and the other party's right to terminate the agreement are suspended.

The suspension is effective upon notice of the force majeure. If the suspension lasts longer than six months and the default continues, either party can terminate the agreement with thirty days' notice.

Force majeure events include acts of God, actions of the elements, cyber-attacks, lockouts, strikes, wars, riots, acts of terrorism, civil commotion, and acts of governmental authorities (excluding delays in permits and approvals). Therefore, while the agreement isn't automatically extended, the delay caused by a force majeure event suspends certain obligations and termination rights, potentially affecting the overall timeline and duration of the agreement.
