What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Pump It Up Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard agreement dictates that the initial term lasts until the day before the 10th anniversary of the business opening, unless terminated earlier per Section 19. However, the addendum for Washington franchisees modifies this, stating that a franchisee in Washington may terminate the agreement upon any grounds available by law.
For franchisees outside of Washington, the FDD does not provide explicit details in this excerpt about the conditions under which a franchisee can terminate the agreement. Section 19 is referenced as the section outlining termination conditions, but the details of Section 19 are not included in this excerpt.
A prospective Pump It Up franchisee should carefully review Section 19 of the Franchise Agreement to understand the specific conditions under which they can terminate the agreement. For Washington franchisees, they should consult with a legal professional to understand their termination rights under Washington law.
