What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at franchise conventions, meetings, product shows or demonstrations, and teleconferences ("Events") is mandatory for the franchisee, their Operating Principal, Designated Managers, or any designated representatives. These events may be in-person or remote, and Body20 determines the time and place.
The franchisee is responsible for all travel and living expenses for themselves and their representatives. Body20 may also require a reasonable registration fee, not exceeding $1,000 per attendee.
If the franchisee or their representatives fail to attend a required event, and have not been excused in writing by Body20, the franchisee must pay Body20 the registration fee that each absent attendee would have incurred, plus an additional $500 for each unexcused absence.
