Training

Tint World provides a comprehensive training program for franchisees to ensure they understand and can effectively operate their centers. The training includes an Introductory Training Program consisting of 18 days of instruction at a designated location, typically beginning 30 days or more before the opening of the center.

This program covers various operational aspects such as business systems, brand image compliance, shop safety, customer service, sales procedures, and technical service operations.

Franchisees and their management personnel are required to attend this training. The franchisor also offers Continuing Education programs, which may include specialty training, advanced sales and technical training, refresher courses, and setup assistance. These programs are designed to keep franchisees updated on best practices and operational standards.

Additionally, Tint World hosts Annual Franchise Conventions and participates in industry Tradeshow Events to provide further learning and networking opportunities. Franchisees must bear the costs of transportation, lodging, meals, and other associated expenses for these training and events. Failure to complete mandatory training to the franchisor’s satisfaction may lead to a breach of the agreement or termination.

Territory Protection

Tint World provides territory protection to its franchisees under specific conditions. Franchisees are granted a designated territory, typically defined by a two-mile radius around their approved location. In densely populated or urban areas, this radius may be smaller, at the franchisor's discretion.

Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish or license another Tint World Center, provided the franchisee remains compliant with the terms of their agreement. Despite this protection, certain exceptions apply.

Tint World reserves the right to offer services or products within the designated territory through alternative channels, such as online platforms or mobile services.

Franchisees should review the agreement carefully to understand the scope and limitations of the territorial protection. This ensures clarity on competition and operational boundaries within their area.
