In the event of a conflict of laws, which law prevails for Body20 franchises?

According to the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, chapter 19.100 RCW, will prevail in the event of a conflict of laws. This applies to franchises purchased in Washington.

For Body20 franchisees in Maryland, Maryland law will apply to claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, regardless of any conflicting statements in Section 16.1 of the Franchise Agreement. Similarly, franchisees in Minnesota have certain protections under Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.21 and Minn. Rule 2860.4400J, which may prohibit Body20 from requiring litigation to be conducted outside of Minnesota, and these rights cannot be reduced by any agreement terms.

These stipulations ensure that franchisees' rights are protected under state laws, particularly in areas such as termination, renewal, and dispute resolution. Franchisees should be aware of these state-specific provisions as they may supersede the standard terms of the franchise agreement, offering additional legal recourse and protection depending on the state in which they operate their Body20 franchise.
