What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Pump It Up Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement can be amended through addenda, particularly for franchisees in specific states like New York, Washington, and Wisconsin. These addenda are executed simultaneously with the franchise agreement and become an integral part of it. These state-specific addenda address inconsistencies with local laws, such as New York General Business Law, and modify sections of the franchise agreement to comply with state regulations. For example, an addendum for Wisconsin franchisees modifies sections related to termination and renewal conditions to align with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. These addenda ensure that the franchise agreement complies with local laws and provides additional protections or clarifications for franchisees in those states.

Additionally, the Pump It Up franchise agreement can be modified through required updates and redesigns of the franchised business. Franchisees may be required to remodel, expand, redecorate, re-equip, or refurnish their premises to conform to the current image of the Pump It Up system. If any single modification, excluding new arena or party equipment, exceeds $10,000, the franchisee has six months to comply. However, Pump It Up will generally not require a major redesign costing more than $10,000 more than twice during the initial term, unless it is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or new safety standards. These modifications ensure that all Pump It Up locations maintain a consistent brand image and comply with current regulations.

Furthermore, the franchise agreement can be amended through a transfer of the agreement. In the event of a transfer, the franchisee and the proposed transferee must sign either an assignment agreement with any necessary amendments or Pump It Up's current standard franchise agreement. Pump It Up reserves the right to choose which documents are signed. This process ensures that the new franchisee is bound by the current terms and standards of the Pump It Up franchise system. These amendments and modifications are essential for maintaining the uniformity and standards of the Pump It Up brand while also complying with legal requirements and adapting to evolving business needs.
