We estimate that it will be 15 to 30 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement before you open and begin operating the Franchised Business. The specific timetable for opening and operating the Franchised Business depends on the Office location (whether it is in a residential or
non-residential location); the delivery schedule for equipment and supplies; completing training; and complying with local laws and regulations. You must notify us in writing at least 30 days before the day on which you propose to begin operating the Franchised Business. You may not open or begin operating the Franchised Business until: (1) we notify you in writing that the Franchised Business and the Office meet our standards and specifications; (2) you (or your managing owner) or your Business Manager complete initial training to our satisfaction; (3) you pay the initial franchise fee and other amounts then due to us; and (4) you give us certificates or other evidence we require for all insurance policies we may require. Subject to these conditions, you must open and operate the Franchised Business within 60 days after the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement. (Franchise Agreement − Section 2.D.)
