What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Body20 does not warrant or represent that the agreement templates they provide comply with Applicable Laws. Body20 will provide templates for Membership Agreements, other agreements, and related waivers for use in the studio. However, it is the franchisee's responsibility to modify these agreements and waivers to comply with all Applicable Laws.
Before using modified or different forms of these agreements or waivers, the franchisee must obtain Body20's written consent. Body20's review of any agreement or waiver proposed by the franchisee is limited to ensuring compliance with their content requirements.
This means that a Body20 franchisee bears the full responsibility and risk of ensuring that all agreements and waivers used in their studio meet all legal requirements. The franchisee should seek legal counsel to review and modify the templates provided by Body20 to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws. This is a common practice in franchising, as laws can vary significantly by jurisdiction, and franchisors typically do not provide legal advice to franchisees.
