-
- Upon your request, send one or more of our representatives to your Center to assist you with the opening of your Business. (Section 6.2)
Opening Requirements (Section 7.4)
You may not begin operating your Business until we have provided our written acknowledgment that your Center is properly equipped, at least 1 Owner has successfully completed the initial training program to our satisfaction and you have complied with your other pre-opening obligations (including purchasing insurance and obtaining any required licensing). We anticipate that a typical Body & Brain Center franchisee will open his or her Body & Brain Center within 7 months after signing the Training Agreement. Some of the factors that may affect this time are identification of a suitable location, financing, obtaining building permits, the extent to which an existing location must be upgraded or remodeled, delayed installation of equipment and fixtures, completion of the initial training, obtaining insurance, and complying with local laws and regulations. Unless we agree to the contrary, your Business must be opened within 2 years after you sign the Franchise Agreement. We may, but need not, grant you an additional extension period, which will not exceed an additional 2-year period. Your failure to open within the 2-year period (or any approved extension period) constitutes an event of default under your Franchise Agreement.
