What sections of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement are deleted in their entirety by the Aira Fitness Franchising, LLC Addendum for North Dakota?

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Aira Fitness Franchising, LLC Addendum for the State of North Dakota deletes several sections of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement in their entirety. Specifically, Section 12.6 on "Governing Law/Consent to Jurisdiction," Section 12.7 on "Waiver of Jury Trial," Section 12.8 on "Limitation of Claims," and Section 12.9 on "Limitation of Damages" are all removed from the agreement for developers in North Dakota.

This means that these specific clauses within the original Multi-Unit Development Agreement will not apply to Aira Fitness multi-unit developers operating in North Dakota. These deletions likely reflect North Dakota-specific laws or regulations that conflict with the standard terms in Aira Fitness's agreement. For example, North Dakota might have different rules regarding jurisdiction, jury trials, or limitations on the types or amounts of claims and damages that can be pursued in legal disputes.

Prospective Aira Fitness multi-unit developers in North Dakota should carefully review the addendum and understand how it modifies the original agreement. They should also consult with a legal professional to fully understand their rights and obligations under North Dakota law, especially concerning dispute resolution and liability. This ensures they are aware of the legal framework governing their franchise relationship within the state.
