What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for ensuring that all Membership Agreements and waivers used at their studio comply with all Applicable Laws. Body20 will provide templates for these agreements and waivers.
However, it is the franchisee's responsibility to modify these templates as necessary to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws. This includes both modifying the agreements and providing the appropriate agreements to customers.
While Body20 may review any modifications or different forms of agreements or waivers, their review is limited to ensuring compliance with their content requirements. Body20's acceptance of a form does not constitute a warranty or representation that the agreement or waiver complies with all Applicable Laws. Therefore, it is crucial for prospective Body20 franchisees to seek legal counsel to review and approve all agreements and waivers before using them in their studio.
