- Additional or Ongoing Training. We do not charge a fee for attendance at our initial training program by two (2) of your owners or representatives. We also do not charge a fee to send our training and opening team to your RWC Business. If we determine that your Operating Principal (as defined in Item 15) or your Designated Manager (as defined in Item 15), if applicable, are not properly trained to provide the services offered by your RWC Business, we may require such person to cease providing services for your RWC Business and/or to be trained by us at our then-current training fee. In addition, if we determine that you or your Designated Manager require refresher training during the term, we may require such individuals to retake all or a portion of the Initial Training Program (as defined in Item 11). Additional training will be provided at the times and location(s) of our choice, whether requested by you or us. You will be charged the then-current rate for additional training, plus the cost of transportation, lodging, and other associated expenses. If your Operating Partner is unable or unwilling to complete the additional required training to our satisfaction, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Red Wagon Club's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may incur costs for additional training under certain circumstances. While the initial training program for two owners or representatives is provided without charge, additional training may be required if the Operating Principal or Designated Manager is deemed inadequately trained. Red Wagon Club may also require refresher training for the franchisee or Designated Manager during the franchise term.
The cost for this additional training is $1,000 per day, per trainer, plus expenses. These expenses cover transportation, lodging, and other associated costs. The location and timing of the additional training are determined by Red Wagon Club.
It's important to note that failure to complete the required additional training to Red Wagon Club's satisfaction can lead to termination of the Franchise Agreement. This highlights the importance of ensuring that the franchisee and their staff meet Red Wagon Club's training standards to avoid potential penalties and maintain compliance with the franchise agreement.
