TRAINING
7.1 Initial Training and Training of Designated Manager
- a. For the first franchise you buy, you (if you are a sole proprietor or are the sole equity owner of the business-entity franchisee), your Designated Manager, or your Principal Operator must attend and complete the Initial Training to our reasonable satisfaction. You may also have one additional trainee attend (for a total of two Persons). At least one of the two must complete Initial Training before you open. You will then have no more than 365 days after the Opening Date to send a second trainee to Initial Training. If each Person completes Initial Training as described here, there will be no tuition. If, however, you send a Person after the 365 days, Initial Training will be offered at our then-current Additional Training Fee.
- b. If one of the two people who attend Initial Training before opening fails to pass Initial Training, the Person will be allowed to take it again at the next available class. You will not be charged tuition but will pay for travel, room, and board. If this Person fails to pass the second time, the Person will not be permitted to provide any Services that require completion of the Initial Training. If the two people who take Initial Training before opening fail to complete the training to our reasonable satisfaction, both will be permitted to take it the second time for no additional tuition. If they both fail to pass Initial Training the second time, we have the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement, except that all restrictive and other covenants of this Franchise Agreement that must survive termination to remain enforceable will survive.
- c. If one Person passes training before opening and the second Person attends training within 365 days of the Opening Date, the Person must pass Initial Training to our satisfaction. If the Person does not pass, they will be allowed to take it again at the next available class. No tuition will be charged, but you will pay for travel, room, and board. If the Person does not pass the second time, the Person will not be permitted to provide any Services that require completion of the Initial Training. Though the Person

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several circumstances under which the franchisor may charge an Additional Training Fee. For the first franchise purchased, the franchisee, their Designated Manager, or Principal Operator must attend and complete Initial Training. Bor Restoration allows one additional trainee to attend, for a total of two people. At least one person must complete the training before the franchise opens, and the second trainee has 365 days after the opening date to attend. If a person is sent to Initial Training after this 365-day period, Bor Restoration will charge their then-current Additional Training Fee.
If one of the initial two people fails to pass the Initial Training, they can retake it once without incurring additional tuition fees, though the franchisee must cover travel, room, and board expenses. However, if that person fails the training a second time, they cannot provide services that require completion of Initial Training. Should they wish to take the course for a third time, Bor Restoration will charge the Additional Training Fee, and the franchisee will again be responsible for travel, room, and board costs.
Bor Restoration may also charge an Additional Training Fee if the franchisee requests additional training, such as advanced or refresher courses, or if Bor Restoration requires the franchisee to take such training. In these cases, the franchisee will be responsible for travel, lodging, and food costs if they travel to Bor Restoration, or they will pay for Bor Restoration's travel, room, and board if Bor Restoration travels to them. If a franchisee replaces their Principal Operator or Designated Manager, the replacement must attend Initial Training, and the franchisee will pay the then-current fees for such training, as well as the attendee's travel, room, board, and wages.
