During the Post-Term Restricted Period, you and your Owners agree not to engage in any Prohibited Activities.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, during the Post-Term Restricted Period, franchisees and their Owners are restricted from engaging in any Prohibited Activities. However, they may have an interest in a Competitive Business as long as it is not located within, and does not provide competitive goods or services to customers who are located within, the Restricted Territory.
If a franchisee or Owner engages in a Prohibited Activity during the Post-Term Restricted Period (other than having an interest in a Competitive Business that is permitted), the Post-Term Restricted Period will be extended by the period of time during which the Prohibited Activity occurred.
It is important for prospective Body Brain Center franchisees to understand the specific definitions of "Prohibited Activities" and "Restricted Territory" as outlined in the FDD, as these terms dictate the scope and duration of the post-term restrictions. Franchisees should carefully consider these restrictions and how they might impact their future business opportunities after leaving the Body & Brain Center system.
