What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is generally responsible for the costs associated with remedial training. Specifically, Spray Net may require the franchisee and their personnel to attend up to five days of remedial training if they fail to complete the initial training program sufficiently or if they don't operate the franchise according to the franchise agreement after receiving written notice.
Spray Net reserves the right to charge its then-current additional training fee, plus lodging and travel expenses, for any remedial training provided to the franchisee or their personnel at any location. If the remedial training is conducted at a location other than Spray Net's headquarters, the franchisee must cover the costs and expenses incurred by Spray Net and its personnel in providing the training.
Furthermore, the franchisee is solely responsible for all costs associated with attending any initial or ongoing training provided by Spray Net or any third-party trainer. This includes paying Spray Net its then-current additional training fee, plus lodging and travel expenses, for any remedial training the franchisee is required to complete as part of their cure actions for a default under the agreement. This allocation of costs is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it ensures the franchisee has a vested interest in the training's success and the proper operation of their business.
