What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Sections 16.4 and 16.5 of the Franchise Agreement, which likely pertain to legal matters such as waivers of jury trials or punitive damages, are deleted under specific circumstances related to state franchise laws.
Specifically, if the Minnesota Franchise Law requires it, Sections 16.4 and 16.5 of the Body20 Franchise Agreement are deleted. This stipulation is part of a rider to the franchise agreement that applies to franchisees in Minnesota.
This means that franchisees in Minnesota may have different legal rights and obligations compared to franchisees in other states, particularly regarding jury trials and punitive damages, depending on the specific requirements of Minnesota law. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Minnesota Franchise Law and consult with legal counsel to understand the implications of these deletions.
