What happens to the Signing Deadline and Opening Deadline for a Body20 studio if the Franchise Disclosure Document is not delivered on time?
Body20 Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you are unable to execute a Franchise Agreement by the Signing Deadline because we are unable to timely deliver a required Franchise Disclosure Document (due to any lapse or expiration of our franchise registration, because we are in the process of amending such documents or registration, or for any other reason), we will adjust such Signing Deadline and Opening Deadline for the applicable Studio to take into consideration the date on which we were able to provide you with a Franchise Disclosure Document, without requiring payment of an Extension Fee or the execution of a general release.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisor is unable to provide the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) in a timely manner, adjustments will be made to the Signing Deadline and Opening Deadline. This situation may arise due to a lapse or expiration of the franchise registration, ongoing amendments to the documents or registration, or any other reason preventing timely delivery of the FDD.
In such cases, Body20 will adjust both the Signing Deadline and the Opening Deadline for the studio to account for the delay in providing the FDD. This adjustment aims to provide the franchisee with sufficient time to review the document and fulfill their obligations without penalty.
Importantly, Body20 will not require the franchisee to pay an Extension Fee or execute a general release to accommodate this adjusted timeline. This provision protects the franchisee from incurring additional costs or waiving rights due to the franchisor's delay in providing the necessary disclosure documents. This is a beneficial term for prospective franchisees, as it mitigates potential financial burdens and legal complications arising from delays in the disclosure process.
