- A. Site Acquisition. Prior to the acquisition by lease or purchase of the site for your Basecamp Studio, you will submit to us such information and materials as we may require, which may include, but not be limited to, your proposed lease. We will have ten (10) business days after receipt of the information and materials we requested to approve or disapprove your proposed site. No site will be deemed approved unless it has been expressly approved in writing by us by notice of site approval sent to you. Our examination and approval of the location of your Basecamp Studio site does not constitute a representation, guaranty or warranty, express or implied, of the successful operation or profitability of the Basecamp Studio at that location. In addition, we may require you to furnish us with a copy of the signed lease within five (5) days after its execution. Following our approval of the site and your acquisition of it, you authorize us to amend the Rider to this Agreement, without your signature, to identify: (1) the address of the site; and (2) the Protected Territory via a map or description of an area surrounding the site.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, before acquiring a site for your Basecamp Studio, you must submit information and materials as required by Basecamp Fitness, potentially including your proposed lease. Basecamp Fitness has 10 business days to approve or disapprove the proposed site after receiving the requested information and materials. Site approval must be express and in writing via a notice of site approval.
It is important to note that Basecamp Fitness's approval of the site does not guarantee the successful operation or profitability of the Basecamp Studio at that location. Additionally, Basecamp Fitness may require you to furnish a copy of the signed lease within five days after its execution.
Following site approval and acquisition, you authorize Basecamp Fitness to amend the Rider to the Franchise Agreement without your signature to identify the site's address and the Protected Territory via a map or description of the area surrounding the site. This amendment clarifies the specific location and territory granted to your franchise, which is a common practice in franchising to avoid disputes over territory rights.
