Training 

The franchisor offers an extensive training program for franchisees and their non-medical staff, ensuring they are well-prepared to operate the franchise. Here is a summary of the training provided:

Initial Non-medical Training Program

Before launching the Franchised Business, each owner and one non-medical manager approved by the franchisor must successfully complete the franchisor's initial non-medical training program. This program, designed to cover the System's operations, must be completed within ninety days of the staff's hiring date. The franchisor may also mandate additional courses, seminars, and training programs related to the System as needed.

Training Expenses and Details

Training sessions are scheduled at various times and locations designated by the franchisor and may also be conducted online, via intranet, conference calls, or other methods determined by the franchisor. The franchisor provides instructors, training materials, and technical training tools at no cost for all required courses, seminars, and programs.

Territory Protection

The franchisor provides territory protection for its franchisees. Once a site for an OrthoLazer Center is selected and approved by the franchisor, a Protected Territory is established and defined in an addendum to the Franchise Agreement.

This Protected Territory is usually determined based on natural traffic and trade patterns and is described using fixed geographical boundaries such as streets, highways, zip codes, or counties.

The Protected Territory will not be altered during the term of the franchise. However, upon renewal or transfer of the franchise, the franchisor may reduce the size of the Protected Territory if it exceeds the current standard or if there have been demographic changes. In such cases, the franchisee or their transferee will have the option to develop the remaining territory.
