What must be provided when Punch King Fitness transfers its obligations to fulfill contractual obligations to the franchisee?

According to Punch King Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Punch King Fitness has the right to transfer or assign all or any part of its rights and/or obligations to any person or legal entity, including a subfranchisor specifically responsible for assisting the franchisee. The franchisee agrees to execute any forms that Punch King Fitness may reasonably request to effectuate any transfer or assignment by Punch King Fitness.

This means that Punch King Fitness can transfer its responsibilities under the franchise agreement to another party. This could be another company, an individual, or even a subfranchisor who will then be responsible for supporting the franchisee.

For a prospective franchisee, this clause indicates that the support and obligations they expect from Punch King Fitness could be fulfilled by a different entity during the term of the agreement. It is important for the franchisee to comply with requests to sign forms that legally formalize this transfer or assignment.
