What is the impact of a felony against a child on a Big Air Trampoline Park franchise?

According to the 2025 Big Air Trampoline Park FDD, if a franchisee, the Designated Business Manager, or any owner of greater than 10% of the franchisee entity is charged or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor of any type against a child, it can have significant repercussions for the franchise agreement.

The FDD states that such a charge or conviction, or any crime involving moral turpitude, or any crime or offense that is reasonably likely, in the sole opinion of Big Air Trampoline Park, to materially and unfavorably affect the System, Marks, goodwill or reputation thereof, can lead to consequences for the franchisee. This clause grants Big Air Trampoline Park broad discretion to determine what actions might negatively impact their brand and allows them to take action if they believe such a risk exists.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that their personal background, as well as the backgrounds of their business manager and any significant owners (more than 10% stake), will be subject to scrutiny. Any past or pending charges related to felonies against children could potentially disqualify them from owning a Big Air Trampoline Park franchise or lead to termination of the franchise agreement if such an event occurs during the term of the agreement.

This provision highlights the importance of maintaining a clean criminal record and ensuring that all key personnel associated with the franchise meet the franchisor's standards of conduct. Franchisees should carefully consider the implications of this clause and ensure they understand the potential consequences of any such charges or convictions.
