What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no addendum included that discusses specific laws or regulations for the state of Washington. The document includes addenda for several other states, such as New York, Virginia, North Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, and Hawaii, addressing specific legal considerations within those states. These addenda cover topics ranging from waivers of claims, governing law, non-compete covenants, and conditions for termination or non-renewal, to deferral of initial franchise fees.
However, because Washington is not mentioned, the FDD does not provide information on specific conditions under which it would be unlawful for Aira Fitness to repurchase a franchisee's business in Washington. The document does state generally that some administrators of franchise registration states may require an addendum describing certain state laws or regulations that may supersede the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Therefore, a prospective Aira Fitness franchisee in Washington should seek clarification from Aira Fitness Franchising, LLC regarding any state-specific regulations or addenda that may apply to their franchise agreement. It would be prudent to consult with a legal professional in Washington who specializes in franchise law to understand their rights and obligations under Washington state law.
