What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cd One Price Cleaners's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the master copy of the manual maintained by the franchisor is the controlling version in case of any dispute about the manual's contents. The franchisor may update or substitute the manual, and these changes may be made to the electronic version of the master copy.
This means that as a Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee, you are responsible for ensuring that the manual at your store is promptly updated with any changes or substitutions from the franchisor. These updates are made to the electronic master copy maintained by Cd One Price Cleaners. If there is ever a disagreement about what the manual says, the franchisor's master copy will be the definitive source.
It is important for a prospective Cd One Price Cleaners franchisee to stay current with all updates to the manual as they are released by the franchisor. Failure to maintain an up-to-date manual could result in not following the most current operating procedures, potentially leading to operational errors or disputes with the franchisor. This clause ensures that Cd One Price Cleaners maintains control over its brand standards and operating procedures, which is typical in franchising.
