Who is the 'Releasor' in the context of the Fitstop General Release form?

According to the 2024 Fitstop FDD, Exhibit G contains a sample of the General Release form. However, the document does not specify who the 'Releasor' is within the context of this form. The excerpt only indicates that a sample form exists as Exhibit G.

Without further information, it is not possible to determine the identity of the 'Releasor' based on the provided documentation. Typically, in a general release, the releasor is the party who is giving up certain rights or claims against another party. In a franchise context, this could potentially be the franchisee releasing claims against the franchisor, or vice versa, or even a customer releasing claims against the franchisee's business.

A prospective Fitstop franchisee should ask the franchisor for a complete, non-sample version of the General Release form to understand the specific context, the parties involved, and the rights being released. Understanding the full legal implications of such a release is crucial before signing any franchise agreement.
