You will be responsible for all other costs and expenses of complying with Amorino's training requirements, including salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for all of your employees who participate in the training. If you sign an area development agreement: a) we only provide you with the Paris ten-day initial training for your first location; and b) we only provide you with the on-site five-day training at your first, second and third stores but not for any additional stores.

If a franchisee is opening more than one Amorino store simultaneously, a Supervising Principal and a Manager for each location must attend the initial training. The initial training program's first ten days will occur at Amorino's headquarters in Paris, France.

If the franchisee is an individual owner who will operate the store (or their manager, if applicable), they must ensure that up to one additional employee attends the training programs. The Supervising Principal must successfully complete Amorino's initial training program and all additional training that Amorino requires.

Amorino will provide and pay for the training instructors, facilities, and materials. However, the franchisee is responsible for all other costs and expenses, including salary, travel, lodging, and dining costs for all employees who participate in the training. Each individual who attends the initial training program (or any supplemental training program), including the supervisor and manager, will be required to sign a confidentiality and noncompete agreement.
