What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company can terminate the franchise agreement with cause only if the franchisee defaults. The franchisee has 30 days to cure any default, except for defaults described as "non-curable defaults."
For the Software Service Agreement (SSA), Body Brain Center (BBYHC) may terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ prior notice without cause. However, if the franchisee defaults under the SSA, BBYHC may terminate upon 10 days' notice if the franchisee fails to cure the default. All defaults under the SSA have a 10-day cure period.
It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand what constitutes a default under both the Franchise Agreement and the SSA, as well as what is considered a curable versus a non-curable default, since the cure period differs between the two agreements. This information is crucial for maintaining compliance and avoiding termination of either agreement.
