What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a customer is considered in default if they fail to make any payment when due, breach any obligations in the agreement, or if the customer or any guarantor dies, becomes insolvent, or is subject to bankruptcy proceedings. A default under any agreement between the customer and the Basecamp Fitness Owner constitutes a default under all agreements, at the Owner's discretion.
If a customer's payment is not received within four days of the due date, they will be charged a late fee. This late charge will be 15% of the payment or $25.00, whichever is greater, unless the maximum charge allowed by law is less.
In the event of a customer default, the Basecamp Fitness Owner has several cumulative options. They can retain the customer's security deposit, elect not to renew any time-out controls programmed within the equipment, remotely disable the equipment, or instruct suppliers to withhold service. The Owner can also pursue legal action to enforce their rights, recover interest on unpaid payments at a rate of 18% per annum (or the highest rate permitted by law), cancel the agreement (terminating the customer's rights to use the equipment), take possession of the equipment, and declare all unpaid rent and other obligations immediately due and payable as liquidated damages. If the customer provided falsified or misrepresented information on their credit application, the Owner may file criminal charges against the customer.
