We have the right, but no obligation, to send an "opening team" to support the Store during its opening phase and to help train your supervisory employees on our philosophy and Brand Standards (but not matters relating to labor relations and employment practices). The Brand Fund currently will pay the wages and travel-related expenses of any opening team we choose to send. However, if in our opinion you and/or the Store needs, or if you request and we agree to provide, special guidance, assistance, or training (excluding training relating to labor relations and employment practices) that is in addition to any support we choose to provide, you must pay our personnel's daily charges (including wages) and travel, hotel, and living expenses. We have the right to delay the Store's opening until all required training has been satisfactorily completed.
