What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must represent and warrant that they are not involved in or supporting terrorist activities. Specifically, the franchisee confirms they are not designated under Executive Order 13224 as someone with whom Body20 cannot conduct business. This order prohibits transactions with individuals or entities engaged in or supporting terrorism.
The franchisee also represents that they do not currently engage in terrorist activity and will not do so in the future. They affirm that they are not affiliated with or supporting any individual or entity involved in terrorist activities. This includes not supporting those contemplating or furthering such activities.
Furthermore, the franchisee warrants that they are not acquiring the Body20 franchise rights with the intention of generating funds to support terrorist activities. This ensures that the franchise is not used as a means to finance or promote terrorism. These representations are critical for Body20 to comply with U.S. law and maintain ethical business practices.
