What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Destruction Event' is referenced in the context of a studio closure. Specifically, if a Body20 studio is closed due to a 'Destruction Event', the franchise agreement considers the business a 'Studio in operation' for up to 180 days following the event.
This designation as a 'Studio in operation' during those 180 days is important because it affects Body20's rights and obligations. The franchisee is expected to diligently work to repair and restore the studio to the approved specifications, either at the same location or at a substitute site approved by Body20 within the Development Area.
However, if the Body20 studio remains closed for more than 180 days after the Destruction Event, or if it closes for reasons other than a Destruction Event (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Body20), Body20 may then exercise its rights and remedies as outlined in Section 6.2 of the franchise agreement. This could potentially include termination of the agreement.
