What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum applies if the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington. The franchise agreement between Body20 LLC and the franchisee is modified by this addendum, regardless of any conflicting information in the original agreement.
Specifically, the addendum is applicable if any of the following conditions are met: the offer to sell the franchise is accepted in Washington, the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington, or the franchised business is to be located or operated, either wholly or partly, in Washington.
This means that if a prospective Body20 franchisee lives in Washington, this addendum will be integrated into their franchise agreement, potentially altering the terms and conditions initially presented in the standard agreement. Franchisees should carefully review the Washington addendum to understand their rights and obligations under Washington state law.
