This includes both classroom instruction and hands-on training, along with online materials for orientation.

Territory Protection
Screenmobile provides franchisees with a protected territory as long as they remain in compliance with the terms of their Franchise Agreement. The franchisor agrees not to operate another business under the Screenmobile Marks within the designated Territory or authorize another franchisee to do so.
However, the franchisor retains the right to advertise, recruit employees, and solicit customers within the Territory without it being considered a breach of the territorial protection.
While Screenmobile does offer this territorial protection, it is not considered an exclusive territory. The franchisor also reserves rights to establish businesses offering dissimilar products and services, or to operate similar businesses under different branding within or outside the Territory.
