What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no explicit statement that addresses whether Creative World School assumes any obligation by providing suggestions to franchisees. However, the document includes a questionnaire that touches on statements or promises made by employees.
Specifically, the questionnaire asks if any employee has made statements concerning the likelihood of success, or about advertising, marketing, training, support service or assistance that is not contained in the FDD. It also asks the franchisee to confirm their understanding that the Franchise Agreement contains the entire agreement and that nothing stated or promised that is not specifically set forth in the Franchise Agreement can be relied upon.
Therefore, a prospective franchisee should be aware that any suggestions or statements made outside of the official Franchise Agreement may not be binding on Creative World School. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to seek clarification from the franchisor regarding the weight and reliability of any advice or suggestions provided during the franchise process.
