What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit D lists state administrators and agents for service of process. However, the excerpt does not include information for New York.
For prospective Body20 franchisees in New York, it's important to know which specific agency or department to contact for service of process. This information is crucial for legal and regulatory compliance.
Because the FDD excerpt does not provide this information, it is recommended that prospective Body20 franchisees in New York should directly ask the franchisor for the correct contact information for service of process within the state. This will ensure they are prepared to handle any legal matters appropriately.
