(a) Termination. If any Event of Default occurs under Section 6.1, we may, at our sole election, declare this Agreement and any and all other rights granted to you, and restrictions imposed on us, under this Agreement to be immediately terminated and of no further force or effect. Upon termination of this Agreement for any other reason whatsoever, we will retain the Development Fee and you will not be relieved of any of your obligations, debts, or liabilities hereunder, including, without limitation, any debts, obligations, or liabilities which have accrued prior to such termination. Your failure to open and thereafter operate Studios in accordance with the Development Schedule will not, in itself, constitute cause for us to terminate any previously-executed Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide specific details about post-termination obligations for a Body20 franchise, as the provided excerpts from the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document do not contain a section or item dedicated to outlining these obligations.
However, the excerpts do include information on termination events and the franchisor's remedies upon termination. Specifically, Item 23 discusses the franchisor's right to terminate the agreement if an event of default occurs, and that upon termination, the franchisee will not be relieved of any obligations, debts, or liabilities. Additionally, in the event of termination, Body20 has the right to enter the premises to protect the Body20 system and marks, cure any default, or remove distinctive elements of the Body20 trade dress.
To fully understand your obligations after the termination of a Body20 franchise agreement, it is essential to consult the complete 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, particularly Item 17, which typically covers renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution. You should also speak directly with Body20's franchise representatives to gain clarity on this critical aspect of the franchise agreement.
