- 5.4 Advisory Councils. You agree to participate in, and, if required, become a member of any advisory councils or similar organizations we form or organize for Clinic franchises. We will select the advisory council's members, and we may change or dissolve the advisory council at any time. We anticipate that an advisory council would serve in an advisory capacity, but may grant to the advisory council any operational or decision-making powers that we deem appropriate. We, or one of more of our affiliated companies or persons, may also offer separate, optional, advisory councils or groups that may have additional costs to you should you decide to participate.
