Does the Basecamp Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document require confirmation that no unauthorized promises or agreements were made regarding advertising, marketing, or training?

According to the 2025 Basecamp Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees must confirm whether any unauthorized promises or agreements were made regarding advertising, marketing, or training. Specifically, the receipt includes a questionnaire that asks franchisees to confirm or deny whether any employee or person acting on behalf of Basecamp Fitness made promises or agreements concerning advertising, marketing, media support, market penetration, training, support service or assistance, or any other material subject relating to the franchise that contradicts the information in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

This requirement ensures that franchisees acknowledge that they are not relying on any representations made outside of the official FDD and Franchise Agreement. This protects both the franchisee and Basecamp Fitness by clarifying the scope of the agreement and preventing misunderstandings or disputes later on. It also encourages franchisees to carefully review the FDD and Franchise Agreement to understand the full scope of services and support they will receive.

By including this confirmation in the receipt, Basecamp Fitness emphasizes the importance of the FDD as the primary source of information for prospective franchisees. Franchisees should carefully consider their responses to these questions and seek clarification from Basecamp Fitness if they have any concerns or if they recall any promises or agreements that are not documented in the FDD or Franchise Agreement. This step is crucial for making an informed decision and avoiding potential conflicts in the future.
