	*The ultimate risk sharing strategy for termination is the openness to walk away without any ill feelings upon something just not working out. Of course we try to keep everyone on board - but to account for contingencies we state this. We expect the 'rubber to hit the road' in the first 30 days, in which the Fellow's performance will become apparent in real life. The logic here is that in the worst case event - if a Fellow turns out to not be a fit - we walk away. The Fellow gets the first $3k of stipend, and OSE offers to buy back their 7 Desktop Microfactory tools for a sum of $3500. At that point - the Fellow has lost nothing - and still walks away with a transformative education from the Immersion program. The goal here is to protect both OSE and the Fellow from ill feelings to each other. If the relationship lasts beyond the first 30 days, then 2 weeks' notice rules apply. OSE still offers to buy back the Fellow's Desktop Microfactory up to 6 months from the Fellowship Start Date.		*The ultimate risk sharing strategy for termination is the openness to walk away without any ill feelings upon something just not working out.

	*In the event of a buyback of the tools - the buyback option assumes that the 7 tools and accessory equipment (cordless drill, welder) are in working order.

The buyback must be in the entirety of all the tools - not a partial return.		*In the event of a buyback of the tools - the buyback option assumes that the 7 tools and accessory equipment (cordless drill, welder) are in working order.
