What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, several sections of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement are deleted in their entirety. Specifically, for franchisees in North Dakota, Section 12.6, which pertains to "Governing Law/Consent to Jurisdiction," is completely removed from the agreement. This means that the specific provisions regarding which state's laws govern the agreement and where legal disputes can be resolved do not apply in their original form for Aira Fitness multi-unit developers in North Dakota.
Additionally, Section 12.7, addressing "Waiver of Jury Trial," is also deleted in its entirety. This deletion implies that the standard agreement's clause, where the franchisee might waive their right to a jury trial in case of a dispute, is not applicable. Similarly, Section 12.8 on "Limitation of Claims" and Section 12.9 on "Limitation of Damages" are also entirely removed, meaning any pre-defined restrictions on the types of claims or the amount of damages that can be sought are not part of the agreement for North Dakota multi-unit developers.
Finally, Sections 9.4 and 12.8 of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement are deleted in their entirety. These modifications suggest that Aira Fitness is making specific legal and financial accommodations for franchisees in certain states, likely to comply with local regulations or to make the franchise offering more attractive. Prospective franchisees should carefully review these addenda and understand how they alter the standard Multi-Unit Development Agreement, especially concerning dispute resolution, legal rights, and financial liabilities.
