What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Body20 franchisees must adhere to Section 15.5 of the franchise agreement regarding identification with the franchisor. Upon termination or expiration of the agreement, franchisees are required to take immediate action to cancel assumed name registrations related to the use of Body20's marks.

Additionally, franchisees must, according to Body20's directions, cancel or transfer all authorized and unauthorized domain names, social media accounts, telephone numbers, post office boxes, and classified and other directory listings (collectively referred to as "Identifiers") to Body20 or its designee. This ensures that all online and offline identifications associated with the Body20 brand are properly managed and revert back to the franchisor's control after the franchise agreement ends.

Body20 retains sole rights and interest in all Identifiers as between the franchisee and the franchisor. If a franchisee fails to comply with these requirements, they irrevocably appoint Body20 as their attorney-in-fact to direct the transfer of these Identifiers. This includes authorizing Body20 to instruct telephone companies, postal services, registrars, Internet Service Providers, and listing agencies to transfer such Identifiers, with the agreement serving as conclusive evidence of Body20's exclusive rights and authority.
