Which exhibit is deleted in its entirety for Big Air Trampoline Park franchises in California, and why?

According to the 2025 FDD, Exhibit I – Statement of Franchisee is deleted in its entirety for Big Air Trampoline Park franchises in California. The reason for this deletion is that it violates California Corporations Code Sections 31512 and 31512.1. This means that any agreements or statements that a franchisee might sign that could waive claims or disclaim reliance on the franchisor's statements are not valid in California.

California Corporations Code Section 31512 generally protects franchisees from unknowingly waiving their rights or being forced to disclaim reliance on statements made by the franchisor. This ensures that franchisees can pursue legal claims, including fraud, if they believe they were misled during the franchise sales process. The deletion of Exhibit I reinforces the franchisee's right to depend on the franchisor's representations and disclosures.

For a prospective Big Air Trampoline Park franchisee in California, this is a beneficial provision. It means they cannot be compelled to sign away their rights to sue or claim they didn't rely on information provided by Big Air Trampoline Park. This protection is particularly important in the context of franchise agreements, which can be complex and may contain clauses that could disadvantage the franchisee if not carefully scrutinized. Franchisees should still carefully review all documents and seek legal advice, but this clause provides an additional layer of security.
