What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, the Michigan State Addendum specifies the conditions under which Big Air Trampoline Park can terminate a franchise agreement before its term expires. In Michigan, a provision allowing termination before the term's end is only enforceable if there is "good cause".
"Good cause" is defined as the franchisee's failure to comply with any lawful provision of the Franchise Agreement. However, Big Air Trampoline Park must provide the franchisee with written notice of the failure and a reasonable opportunity to correct it. The franchisee must be given at least 30 days to fix the issue.
This stipulation protects franchisees in Michigan from arbitrary or unfair termination. Franchisees in Michigan should ensure they understand their obligations under the Franchise Agreement and take prompt action to correct any failures to comply after receiving notice from Big Air Trampoline Park. This ensures they can maintain their franchise rights and avoid early termination.
