Your staff will be required to attend all training sessions of the initial training program separate from the training sessions that you attend due to the nature of the topics being covered. In some instances, you and your staff will attend the same training session.
We reserve the right to offer and hold additional ongoing training programs and franchise owners' meetings for your Clinic at such times and locations as we may deem necessary or appropriate. We also reserve the right to make any of these training programs mandatory for you and/or designated owners, employees, general managers, and/or representatives of yours. You will be solely responsible for the wages and travel, lodging, and living expenses for each attendee of yours who attends any additional training program or franchise owners meeting offered and held by us. If we offer any such mandatory training programs, then you or your designated personnel must attend a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the programs offered on an annual basis (Franchise Agreement - Section 4.2). You are required to attend our annual conference, a training program that we conduct once per year. The location of the annual conference will be determined by us. Your attendance at the annual conference is mandatory. You will be solely responsible for the wages and travel, lodging, and living expenses for each attendee of yours who attends the annual conference. We will not charge you a fee to attend the annual conference, but we will collect fees from you that are imposed by third parties relating to the annual conference, such as fees charged for lodging, food, and beverage.
