What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand will comply with Minnesota Statute Section 80C.14, subds. 3, 4, and 5. These statutes generally require that Basecamp Fitness provide the franchisee with 180 days' notice for nonrenewal of the Franchise Agreement.
However, this requirement is not absolute. The statutes also stipulate certain specified cases where this notice period may not apply. The exact nature of these 'specified cases' is not detailed in this excerpt, so a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Basecamp Fitness regarding what circumstances would allow them to not give the full 180-day notice.
This provision is part of a broader Minnesota Addendum that applies only to franchisees who are residents of Minnesota or whose Basecamp Fitness business will be located in Minnesota. The addendum modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with Minnesota law.
