What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guaranty is an agreement where the Guarantor(s) unconditionally warrants and guarantees that the Developer will fulfill every commitment outlined in the Franchise Agreement. Should the Developer default, the Guarantor(s) is obligated to cure the default at their own expense. This obligation is triggered by a default as defined in the Franchise Agreement.
The Guaranty represents an original and independent obligation of the Guarantor(s), separate from the Developer's obligations to Aira Fitness under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement. The Guarantor's obligations are direct and primary, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Franchise Agreement itself. This means that even if the Franchise Agreement were to become invalid for some reason, the Guarantor's obligations would still stand. The Guaranty is solely for the benefit of Aira Fitness and not for any third party.
The Guarantor(s) also authorizes Aira Fitness to make changes to the Franchise Agreement, compromise, renew, extend, or otherwise alter the terms without affecting the Guarantor's liability. The Guarantor(s) also provides several representations and warranties to Aira Fitness, including that the Guaranty is executed at the Developer's request and that Aira Fitness would not enter into the Franchise Agreement without the Guaranty. The Guarantor also warrants that they have not and will not dispose of assets in a way that would negatively affect their ability to perform their obligations under the Guaranty or the Franchise Agreement.
