My business is a part of a franchise at the moment.

The franchise offers a program that is a Lifetime membership, once they pay their tuition they never have to pay again. I have brought to their attention about how ridiculous this is and they have finally listened. So I got them to change the program down to an 8 year course.

Here is my problem. I am the newest school so I am not liable for ANY life time memberships right now. They want to run a campaign saying "sign up now because it is going away" Which would be great because we would get a lot of sales for a ton of money. BUT I would be liable for Lifetime memberships if I did this!

I have members who have already heard from the other schools that we are getting rid of the life time program so I have people wanting to sign up for it. My question is, does it make sense to be held liable for lifetime memberships??? It seems to me that I should avoid the quick buck and wait until next month when the program changes.

My franchise agreement is 5 years long. I don't believe I will renew after that, the original plan was to use the name to grow the business and then go off on my own, whether I sell the current school or have someone else run it to pursue other things. I know some of these are legal questions that most cannot answer but curious on what you guys would do or what you think about it.
