Are Body Brain Center franchisees prohibited from reverse engineering the Software Service?

According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are restricted from making changes to the Software Service or creating derivative works. The agreement specifies that franchisees cannot publish, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, transfer, transmit, resell, or distribute the Software Service, or any part of it. Additionally, franchisees are prohibited from sharing access or usage rights with third parties without the franchisor's prior written approval. These restrictions are in place to protect the integrity and proprietary nature of Body Brain Center's software.

These terms mean that a Body Brain Center franchisee cannot attempt to reverse engineer, modify, or replicate the Software Service for any reason. This includes using the software as a basis for creating new products or services, or allowing unauthorized individuals to access the software. The restrictions are designed to maintain control over the software's functionality and prevent unauthorized use or distribution.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they must rely solely on the Software Service as provided by Body Brain Center and its provider. Any desired changes or improvements would need to be communicated to the franchisor for consideration, rather than independently implemented by the franchisee. This ensures consistency and quality control across all Body Brain Center locations using the software.
