What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you successfully complete the training program, you have a 180-day period, referred to as the "Franchise Evaluation Period," to sign the Franchise Agreement that Body Brain Center previously offered to you.
If you do not sign the Franchise Agreement within this 180-day Franchise Evaluation Period, Body Brain Center is not obligated to offer you a franchise. Additionally, Body Brain Center may retain the training fee to cover the cost of the training provided to you.
Even if you do not sign the Franchise Agreement or successfully complete the training program, you are still required to comply with all the terms of the agreement related to protecting Body Brain Center's intellectual property. If you do sign the Franchise Agreement within the Franchise Evaluation Period, these intellectual property protection terms will no longer apply, as the terms of the Franchise Agreement will then take precedence.
