If a franchisee receives an unusually high number of complaints from clients, the Regional Office may recommend continuing education. Until Anago is satisfied that the deficiencies have been corrected, they may suspend further business offerings to the franchisee.

The franchisee is solely responsible for all expenses associated with these programs, including the then-prevailing standard Orientation fee and all travel, meals, and lodging costs for the attendees.
