What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be subject to an On-Site Training Cancellation Fee if they cancel, fail to attend, fail to have appropriate parties attend, or fail to stay for the entire on-site training program. The amount of this fee can vary.
The On-Site Training Cancellation Fee amount depends on the type of scheduled training program. It also depends on how far in advance the franchisee notifies Boulder Designs in writing about the cancellation. The fee also considers the costs and expenses Boulder Designs incurs in rescheduling travel arrangements.
This policy means that franchisees need to be aware of the potential costs associated with canceling or not fully participating in scheduled on-site training. To minimize these fees, franchisees should provide ample notice of any cancellations and ensure that all required participants attend the entire training program. Franchisees should communicate proactively with Boulder Designs regarding any potential scheduling conflicts or issues to mitigate potential cancellation fees.
