According to the 2024 Cinch I.T. Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor plays a central role in developing and modifying the System Standards. Cinch I.T. has developed a unique business system for providing Information Technology Support Services, referred to as "Franchisor's System" or "System". This system includes standards, specifications, methods, procedures, techniques, know-how, management directives, identification schemes, and proprietary marks and information, which are collectively known as "System Standards." These System Standards may be further developed by Cinch I.T.

The franchisor retains the right to modify and update the Operations Manuals, Marks, and System Standards unilaterally. These modifications can be made under any conditions and to any extent that Cinch I.T. deems necessary to meet competition, protect trademarks or trade names, or improve the quality of products or services provided through Cinch I.T. franchised businesses. Franchisees are responsible for incurring the costs associated with any changes to the Cinch I.T. Franchised Business or the System resulting from these modifications.

Furthermore, if a franchisee develops any improvement or addition to the Operations Manuals, System Standards, or Marks, they must assign all rights, title, and interest to Cinch I.T. If such assignment is prohibited by law, the franchisee must grant Cinch I.T. an irrevocable, worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free license, with the right to sub-license the improvement or addition. Franchisees are responsible for operating their franchised business in full compliance with all System Standards, as modified from time to time.

These standards include mandatory specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules that Cinch I.T. periodically prescribes for the development and operation of Cinch I.T. franchised businesses. All references to System Standards include any modifications, deletions, and/or additions authorized by the Franchise Agreement or the Operations Manual. System Standards may regulate any aspect of the operation and maintenance of Cinch I.T. franchised businesses, provided that all System Standards apply uniformly to all similarly situated Cinch I.T. franchised businesses.
