What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee violates any health or safety law, ordinance, or regulation, or operates the studio in a manner that presents a health or safety hazard to its members or the public, it constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement.
This violation gives Bft grounds for terminating the franchise agreement. This means the franchisee could lose their rights to operate under the Bft brand and system. The franchisee's failure to comply with health and safety standards poses a significant risk, potentially leading to the closure of their studio and loss of their investment.
It is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure their studio adheres to all applicable health and safety laws and regulations to avoid potential termination of the franchise agreement. This includes maintaining a safe environment for members and the public, and staying informed about and compliant with all relevant legal requirements.
