Does the Cicis System Standards regulate policies for the registration, use, content, or management of online presences?

According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the System Standards may regulate policies for the registration, use, content, or management of online presences. Cicis retains the right to establish and periodically modify these System Standards, but the franchisee retains the right and sole responsibility for the day-to-day management and operation of their Restaurant and the implementation and maintenance of System Standards at their Restaurant.

Cicis also maintains a website that provides information about the System and the products that Cicis Restaurants provide. Cicis has sole discretion and control over the Cicis Website, including timing, design, contents, and continuation. Cicis may include an interior page containing information about the franchisee's Restaurant on the Cicis Website, and the franchisee agrees to provide any current information requested to do so.

Furthermore, Cicis reserves the right to require franchisees to obtain and use an e-mail address associated with their registered domain name, according to their then-current System Standards. Cicis will have unrestricted access to all such e-mail accounts and may deactivate any such account or limit access at any time. Franchisees must use such e-mail address only in connection with the operation of their Restaurant and in compliance with all Laws. Franchisees cannot register any Internet domain name that contains words used in or similar to any brand name that Cicis or its affiliates own. They also cannot use the Marks or any abbreviation or other name associated with Cicis as part of any e-mail address, domain name, or other identification of them in any electronic medium.
