Does the provision regarding waiving claims and disclaiming reliance supersede other terms in documents executed in connection with the Aira Fitness franchise?

According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, a specific provision addresses the waiving of claims and disclaiming reliance. This provision ensures that no statement, questionnaire, or acknowledgment signed by a franchisee at the start of their franchise relationship can waive claims under state franchise law, including claims related to fraud in the inducement.

Furthermore, this provision prevents franchisees from disclaiming reliance on statements made by Aira Fitness, its sellers, or anyone acting on its behalf. Critically, the FDD states that this particular provision takes precedence over any other conflicting terms found in any document associated with the franchise agreement. This means that even if other documents contain language that could be interpreted as a waiver or disclaimer, this specific provision will govern.

For a prospective Aira Fitness franchisee, this offers a degree of protection. It clarifies that they cannot inadvertently forfeit their rights to pursue legal claims related to franchise law or disclaim reliance on representations made by the franchisor through standard documents signed during the initial phase of the franchise relationship. This protection applies specifically to claims such as fraud, ensuring franchisees are not bound by potentially misleading information.
