What is the purpose of the notary acknowledgment in the Big Air Trampoline Park document?

According to the 2025 FDD, the notary acknowledgment included in the Big Air Trampoline Park franchise documents serves to verify the identity of the individual who signed the document. This acknowledgment confirms that the person who signed the document appeared before a notary public, who then verified their identity.

The California All-Purpose Acknowledgment explicitly states that the notary public is only verifying the identity of the signer and not confirming the truthfulness, accuracy, or validity of the document itself. This means that the notary's role is limited to ensuring that the person signing is who they claim to be, adding a layer of security and legal validity to the document.

For a prospective Big Air Trampoline Park franchisee, this means that their signature on agreements such as the Franchise Agreement or Multi-Unit Development Agreement will need to be notarized. This process helps to prevent fraud and ensures that all parties involved are legally bound by the terms of the agreement. The franchisee should be aware that the notary's verification is only of their identity, and it is still the franchisee's responsibility to fully understand and agree with the contents of the documents they are signing.
