What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fitstop and its legal practitioners have irrevocable authorization to access the franchise premises. This authorization is granted to Fitstop as part of the process of securing an approved location for the Fitstop franchise.

This access is not conditional and cannot be revoked by the franchisee. Fitstop includes this provision to ensure they can properly evaluate the suitability of the location and protect their brand standards.
It is important for potential franchisees to understand that this irrevocable access is part of the agreement. While Fitstop accepts no responsibility for the suitability of the premises, they retain the right to assess it. This clause underscores the importance of carefully selecting a location that meets Fitstop's criteria and consulting with them throughout the site selection process.
