What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, each provision within the Minnesota Amendment to the Fly Fitness Franchise Agreement is effective only if the jurisdictional requirements of the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 80C are independently met, without relying on the Amendment itself. This means that for any specific part of the amendment to be valid, it must comply with Minnesota law regardless of whether the amendment exists.
This condition ensures that the amendment does not override or circumvent any existing protections or requirements under Minnesota law. It reinforces that the amendment's provisions are only applicable if they align with the state's legal framework for franchising.
For a prospective Fly Fitness franchisee in Minnesota, this implies that they should verify that each amended section of the franchise agreement independently complies with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 80C. This may require consulting with a legal professional familiar with Minnesota franchise law to ensure full compliance and understanding of their rights and obligations. The franchisee should not assume that the amendment automatically makes the franchise agreement compliant; instead, they must confirm compliance independently.
