What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guarantors, who are providing a guarantee for the franchisee's obligations, waive certain notices to facilitate the enforcement of the guarantee by Body20. This waiver is part of the Payment and Performance Guarantee that is attached as Appendix C to the Franchise Agreement.
The specific notices waived by the Guarantors include presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices. This broad waiver includes, but isn't limited to, notices of acceptance of the guarantee, the existence or creation of any Guaranteed Liabilities, the amounts and terms of those liabilities, and all defaults, disputes, or controversies between Body20 and the franchisee, as well as any settlements, compromises, or adjustments related to those issues.
This means that Body20 does not have to formally notify the Guarantors of these events or actions to enforce the guarantee. The guarantee is designed to be primary, meaning Body20 can pursue the Guarantors without first pursuing the franchisee or any other security. This waiver simplifies and expedites the process for Body20 to seek recourse from the Guarantors if the franchisee fails to meet their obligations, which is a significant protection for Body20. Prospective franchisees should ensure their guarantors fully understand these waivers, as they have considerable implications for the guarantor's responsibilities.
