What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Spray Net may require franchisees to attend up to five days of remedial training if they or their personnel fail to complete the initial or additional required training programs sufficiently, or if they fail to operate the franchised business according to the franchise agreement terms after receiving written notice of the failure from Spray Net. This remedial training is considered an instance of "Remedial Training" as defined in the FDD.
Spray Net reserves the right to charge its then-current Additional Training Fee, along with lodging and travel expenses, for any remedial training provided to the franchisee or their personnel at any location. If the remedial training occurs at a location other than Spray Net's headquarters, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs and expenses incurred by Spray Net and its personnel in providing the training.
This means that if a Spray Net franchisee or their employees do not meet the required standards in their initial training or fail to adhere to the franchise agreement, they may be compelled to undergo additional training at their own expense. The costs can include not only the training fee itself but also travel and lodging for both the franchisee/employees and Spray Net's trainers, potentially creating a significant financial burden. Franchisees should ensure they and their staff are diligent during initial training to avoid the need for costly remedial sessions.
