Floors_To_Go Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We own and/or use certain trade names, service marks, and trademarks for the operation of the FTG System. We believe that this ensures uniform standards of appearance, quality, and operation for all participating showrooms and enhances and protects the use of the FTG System.
We may hold conferences or conventions from time to time to discuss matters such as sales techniques, product selection and costs to members, performance standards, advertising programs, new products and programs, and operational modifications and updates.
You must attend our annual convention.
We will bear the cost of your registration fee for your first convention, but you must pay all related travel, lodging and other personal expenses you incur.
You must also attend FTG's annual convention in subsequent years, in order to receive the full benefit of the FTG System, and we reserve the right to charge you a fee if you elect not to attend.
Follow reasonable recommendations that we may make so that the operation of your Showroom shall in no way damage our reputation or the reputation of other members.
