What This Means (2024 FDD)

Based on the 2024 Fly Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer's failure to transfer their interest in the agreement within six months of death or permanent disability to a Franchisor-approved third party constitutes a material default, leading to the termination of all rights granted by the agreement. The FDD specifies that 'permanent disability' means a condition preventing continuous supervision of the Fly Fitness outlet and development schedule for six months.

Additionally, the agreement outlines conditions under which a developer is considered in material default, leading to automatic termination without notice. This includes instances where the developer becomes insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Furthermore, the FDD states that the developer must comply with the Mandatory Development Schedule. The developer must also execute a Franchise Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 of the agreement. Failure to meet these obligations could jeopardize the agreement.
