Your Managing Owner and, if applicable, Designated General Manager, must successfully complete our JumpStart initial training program (the "JumpStart Training Program") within two (2) months of signing this Agreement, before attending Initial Training (as defined below) and before the opening of the Clear Pest Pros Business. The JumpStart Training Program is our preparation program that includes numerous pre-opening activities.
The JumpStart Training Program is a self-guided process, with additional guidance from our training team, along with our Operations Manual (as defined in Section 3.E of this Agreement) which we will loan to you. All JumpStart Training Program activities are to be completed before attending Initial Training and before the opening of the Clear Pest Pros Business and are conducted in your hometown by you with assistance from our home office staff. You shall begin the JumpStart Training Program immediately upon your signing and return to us of this Agreement and the initial fees. During the JumpStart Training Program, we will schedule an Initial Training for you to attend at a later time. Initial Training sessions are typically offered each month.
We may waive your attendance at the Initial Training, in our discretion, if you already operate a Clear Pest Pros Business and you purchase an additional franchise from us.
Before you begin operating the Clear Pest Pros Business, we will furnish business manager and technical operations training (the "Initial Training") to the Managing Owner and, if applicable, the Designated General Manager, at no additional fee. The Managing Owner or, if applicable, the Designated General Manager must complete the Initial Training to our satisfaction and failure to do so will result in the termination of this Agreement. The Initial Training may not commence until you have paid all fees due to us and must be completed within four (4) months of the effective date of this agreement.
The Initial Training will last up to twelve (12) days in duration at our headquarters or another location designated by us. You will be responsible for all travel and living expenses that you and your employees/owners incur for this Initial Training.
