What constitutes full payment for Boulder Designs' use of a franchisee's facilities for training?

According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Boulder Designs elects to use a franchisee's location as a training facility, the franchisee will be compensated by being given the option to enroll their employees or internal managers into the training class being taught by Boulder Designs free of all charges. This is considered payment in full for the use of the facilities.

This arrangement could be beneficial for a Boulder Designs franchisee as it allows them to train their staff without incurring additional training costs, while also providing Boulder Designs with a suitable training location. This could be particularly advantageous for franchisees who have larger facilities or those located in areas that are easily accessible for other franchisees or potential franchisees.

However, it's important to note that this is an 'option' offered 'in lieu of payment,' implying that Boulder Designs is not obligated to use franchisee locations for training, nor are franchisees entitled to monetary compensation. The decision to use a franchisee's location and the form of compensation rests solely with Boulder Designs. A prospective franchisee should consider the potential benefits and limitations of this arrangement and discuss it further with Boulder Designs to fully understand the circumstances under which their facility might be used and the training opportunities offered in return.
