Belocal may also require franchisees to periodically attend additional training programs and seminars, which could be conducted at designated locations or virtually by Belocal or third parties. The duration of these additional training programs will vary depending on the subject matter and content. Franchisees are responsible for all expenses incurred during these additional training programs, including travel, lodging, meals, and wages.
