What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Creative World School has the authority to modify the specifications and components of the required Computer System from time to time.
These modifications may require a franchisee to incur costs to purchase, lease, or license new or modified computer hardware or software. Franchisees may also need to obtain service and support for the Computer System during the term of the franchise agreement. Creative World School may also require franchisees to maintain a contract with a vendor approved by Creative World School for software maintenance, support, and upgrade services.
This means that as a Creative World School franchisee, you must remain flexible and prepared to adapt to changes in technology and software as mandated by the franchisor. Budgeting for potential upgrades, new equipment, and ongoing service contracts is essential to maintaining compliance and operational efficiency. It is important to note that these changes are within Creative World School's discretion, and franchisees are expected to comply with these updates as part of the franchise agreement.
