Where will arbitration or mediation take place involving a Basecamp Fitness franchise purchased in Washington?

According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, for a franchise purchased in Washington, the arbitration or mediation site will be in one of three locations. The first option is within the state of Washington. The second option is a location mutually agreed upon by both parties at the time of the arbitration or mediation. The third option is a location determined by the arbitrator or mediator during the arbitration or mediation proceedings.

This means that franchisees in Washington have some protection regarding where disputes are resolved. Unlike some franchise agreements that mandate arbitration in the franchisor's home state, Basecamp Fitness allows for arbitration or mediation to occur in Washington or a location agreed upon at the time of the dispute. This can significantly reduce travel costs and logistical burdens for the franchisee.

It is important to note that the specific location will depend on the circumstances and the agreement between the parties or the decision of the arbitrator or mediator. Franchisees should be aware of these options and consider them when negotiating or participating in dispute resolution processes with Basecamp Fitness.
