How are 'Business Days' defined in the Goldfish Swim School Area Development Agreement?

According to the 2025 Goldfish Swim School Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Business Days' are defined within the context of the Area Development Agreement. Specifically, a 'Business Day' is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a United States Government legal holiday.

This definition is important for franchisees as it impacts the timelines and deadlines stipulated in the Area Development Agreement. For instance, if the agreement specifies that Goldfish Swim School must respond to a franchisee request within five business days, the response time excludes weekends and federal holidays. This ensures franchisees have a clear understanding of the actual working days available for fulfilling obligations or receiving responses under the agreement.

Understanding this definition helps franchisees manage their expectations and plan accordingly, especially when dealing with time-sensitive matters related to site selection, development schedules, or any other contractual obligations outlined in the Area Development Agreement with Goldfish Swim School.
