According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial term of the franchise agreement is ten years, beginning on the effective date. This is a fairly standard term length in the franchise industry.

At the end of the initial ten-year term, Bft offers franchisees the opportunity to apply for a successor franchise agreement for an additional ten-year term. However, this is subject to certain conditions. To be eligible for a successor franchise, the franchisee must execute Bft's current form of franchise agreement for BFT Studios, demonstrate they have the right to remain in possession of the authorized location, execute a general release of claims against Bft, complete any required renovations to conform with current system standards, and have substantially complied with all agreements during the initial term.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that the terms of the successor franchise agreement may differ from the original agreement, including potential changes in royalty and advertising fees. Additionally, failure to execute and return the successor franchise agreement within thirty days of delivery will constitute an election not to acquire the successor franchise. This means that franchisees need to be prepared to meet Bft's requirements and agree to the updated terms if they wish to continue operating their Bft studio beyond the initial ten-year term.
