What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Best In Class Education Center FDD, the franchise agreement, along with any applicable ADA agreements and attachments, constitutes the entire agreement between Best In Class Education Center and the franchisee. This means that any prior oral or written statements not included in these documents are not binding.
The FDD emphasizes the importance of relying solely on the information contained within the Franchise Agreement, ADA (if applicable), and its attachments. Prospective franchisees should be aware that any promises or representations made by Best In Class Education Center employees or representatives regarding costs, training, assistance, support, profits, earnings, or potential revenue that are not explicitly stated in the FDD or contradict its contents are not legally binding.
Before signing the agreement, Best In Class Education Center requires franchise applicants to complete a questionnaire to confirm their understanding of this principle. By signing the questionnaire, the applicant acknowledges that they have carefully considered each question and responded truthfully, and that Best In Class Education Center will rely on these answers. This process aims to ensure that franchisees are fully informed and aware that the written agreement supersedes any prior discussions or representations.
