In a dispute about the Chocolate Bash Manual's contents, which copy controls?

According to the 2024 Chocolate Bash Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor, CB Franchising, retains the right to modify the Manual. The Manual refers to CB Franchising's confidential Operating Manual(s), including any supplements, additions, or revisions from time to time, which may be in any form or media.

This means that Chocolate Bash franchisees must adhere to the most current version of the manual as determined and updated by the franchisor. It is within CB Franchising's rights to change the contents of the manual at any time, and those changes are binding on the franchisee.

As a result, if there is ever a dispute about the contents of the Chocolate Bash Manual, the version maintained by CB Franchising will be the controlling document. Franchisees should ensure they have the most up-to-date version of the manual and any revisions to remain compliant with the franchise agreement.
