  • F. Remedial Training. If Franchisor determines that Franchisee is operating the Studio in a manner that is not consistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Learning Management System, or if Franchisee is otherwise in material default of this Agreement, Franchisor may also require that Franchisee, its Designated Manager (if applicable) and/or certain Authorized Instructors of the Studio attend and complete up to five (5) additional days of training at (a) Franchisor's designated training facility, (b) the Studio, or (c) other location Franchisor designates, that is designed to address the default or other noncompliance issue (the "Remedial Training"). Franchisor may require Franchisee and its designated trainees to pay Franchisor its then-current Training Fee in connection with attending Remedial Training.
  • 6.3 Learning Management System. During the Term, Franchisor will grant Franchisee access to its confidential online learning management platform, which includes electronic versions of manuals and written policies and procedures related to the development and operation of BFT Studios (collectively, the "Learning Management System"). The Learning Management System is anticipated to codify then-current specifications, standards and operating procedures prescribed or suggested by Franchisor. Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor may from time to time revise its System Standards as well as the contents of the Learning Management System (including by written memoranda and notices issued to owners of BFT Studios), and Franchisee agrees to comply with each new or changed standard and specification upon notice from Franchisor. The Learning Management System shall remain the sole property of Franchisor and is part of, and subject to the requirements applicable to, Franchisor's Confidential Information (as defined in Section 12.1). If Franchisee, intentionally or otherwise through its gross negligence, compromises the secure access to the Learning Management System (or any printed copies of the contents thereto), including, but not limited to, allowing unauthorized users access to the Learning Management System and its confidential contents or intentionally posting any of the Confidential Information on the Internet, Franchisee acknowledges that it will be required to adequately compensate Franchisor for the breach and related damage to the Marks and System, and that any limitation of remedies provided in Sections 16.4 and 16.7 below shall not limit Franchisor's remedy or relief in the foregoing instance(s).

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees gain access to a confidential online learning management platform during the term of their agreement. This platform, referred to as the "Learning Management System," contains electronic versions of manuals, written policies, and procedures essential for the development and operation of Bft studios. The Learning Management System is designed to codify the specifications, standards, and operating procedures prescribed or suggested by Bft.

Bft retains the right to revise its System Standards and the contents of the Learning Management System, including updates communicated through written memoranda and notices to Bft studio owners. Franchisees are obligated to comply with each new or changed standard and specification upon notification from Bft. The Learning Management System remains the sole property of Bft and is subject to the requirements applicable to Bft's Confidential Information.

Furthermore, Bft may require franchisees to adhere to social media guidelines and codes of conduct as outlined in the Learning Management System. These guidelines may necessitate compliance with Bft's privacy policy. Bft also reserves the right to manage social media pages related to the studio and act as the primary information provider on such platforms. Franchisees must promptly modify or remove any online communication pertaining to the studio that does not comply with the agreement or the Learning Management System.
