On what date did the franchisee sign the Franchise Agreement for the Creative World School franchise?

The 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document includes several riders and addenda that refer to the signing and effective dates of the franchise agreement. These riders often state that they are effective as of a certain date, regardless of the actual date of signature. This implies that the agreement date and the signature date may not always be the same.

For franchisees in certain states like New York and Michigan, the FDD stipulates specific timelines for delivering the disclosure document before the agreement is signed. In New York, the document must be provided at the earlier of the first personal meeting or 10 business days before signing. Michigan requires delivery at least 10 business days before signing or payment of any consideration, whichever comes first. These regulations aim to ensure franchisees have adequate time to review the documents before committing.

While the FDD excerpts discuss the effective date and the importance of providing the disclosure document in advance, they do not explicitly state the exact date on which the franchisee must sign the Franchise Agreement. Instead, the riders often refer to an 'Agreement Date' and state that the rider is effective on this date, irrespective of when the document is actually signed. To determine the specific signing date for a Creative World School franchise agreement, a prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor directly.
