After receiving written notification of modifications to the approved list, what is a Bft franchisee prohibited from doing?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Bft modifies its list of approved products, classes, suppliers, or services, franchisees are prohibited from reordering any product or utilizing any supplier, product, class, or service that is no longer approved. This restriction takes effect immediately upon the franchisee receiving written notification of the modification.

This means that Bft franchisees must stay updated on the approved lists provided by Bft and ensure their studio operations comply with the latest modifications. Failure to comply could result in a breach of the franchise agreement. Franchisees need to promptly discontinue using any products, classes, or services that are removed from the approved list and find suitable replacements from the current approved options.

This requirement ensures consistency and quality control across all Bft franchise locations, as it allows Bft to maintain standards for products, services, and suppliers. While this may limit a franchisee's autonomy in choosing specific products or suppliers, it also helps protect the brand's reputation and ensures that all locations meet Bft's established criteria. Franchisees should regularly review any updates or modifications to the approved lists to avoid non-compliance.
