Does the definition of 'Program Sales' for a Body Brain Center franchise include referral fees?

Based on the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, the electronic payments made by customers through the Online Payment Program for Introductory Class sessions, Trial Class sessions, Group Classes, and Private Classes at a franchisee's center are included in the reporting of Program Sales. The Online Payment Program allows existing, new, or potential customers to pay for these sessions through the Body Brain Center website or a third-party website.

Specifically, Body Brain Center lists the conditions for participation in the Online Payment Program, stating that the franchisee agrees to have their center listed on the website, allow customers to purchase class sessions electronically, and potentially offer discounts for online payments, provided the minimum payment is at least 50% of the suggested retail price.

The FDD states that all Online Payment Proceeds collected by Body Brain Center pertaining to a franchisee's center will be paid to the franchisee, and the franchisee will be notified of all online payment transactions related to their center in a timely manner. However, the document does not explicitly mention whether 'Program Sales' includes referral fees. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Body Brain Center on whether referral fees are included in the definition of 'Program Sales'.
