What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 FDD, Aira Fitness requires franchisees to maintain employment practices liability insurance with a minimum limit of $100,000 per occurrence. This insurance must include both first and third-party coverage.

This requirement means that franchisees must secure an insurance policy that protects them against claims arising from employment-related issues such as discrimination, wrongful termination, or harassment. The inclusion of both first and third-party coverage suggests that the policy should cover not only the franchisee's direct liabilities but also potential liabilities arising from their employees' actions.

Franchisees should carefully review their insurance options to ensure they meet this minimum coverage requirement and understand the terms and conditions of the policy. It is also important to note that Aira Fitness can modify the required minimum limits from time to time by written notice to reflect changes in relevant circumstances, industry standards, experiences in the Aira Fitness system, standards of liability and higher damage awards.
