Franchisee may hire associates to assist with marketing or administrative tasks ("Associates").

Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that Franchisee is solely responsible for all decisions relating to employees, agents, and independent contractors Franchisee may hire to assist in the operation of the Franchised Business. Franchisee agrees that any Associate, employee, agent or independent contractor Franchisee hires or retain will be Franchisee's employee, agent or independent contractor, and not Franchisor's employee, agent or independent contractor. Franchisee also agrees that Franchisee is solely responsible for the terms and conditions of employment of Franchisee's employees and Associates, including, without limitation, recruiting, hiring, firing, training, compensation, work hours and schedules, work assignments, safety and security, discipline, and supervision.

Franchisor shall provide instructors and training materials for all required training programs, except for third-party seminars.
