What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is required to keep the Manual and all of Fly Fitness's confidential and proprietary materials in a safe and secure location. This location must be protected against unauthorized access, whether physical or through computer and telecommunications networks. The franchisee must also report any theft or loss of the Manual, or any part of it, to Fly Fitness immediately.
To prevent unauthorized access through computer and telecommunications networks, Fly Fitness requires the franchisee to use the latest available firewall, encryption, and similar technology. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected from cyber threats and unauthorized parties.
Upon request, or if the agreement is terminated or expires, the franchisee must delete all electronic copies and return any physical copies of the Manual and other confidential materials to Fly Fitness. This ensures that all confidential information is returned to Fly Fitness and is no longer in the franchisee's possession after the agreement ends.
