Creative_World_School Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You agree to maintain an inventory of School Materials and Approved Products and Services (including aprons bearing the Marks, food and art supplies), sufficient to meet the daily demands of the School for all items specified in the Manuals.
Any and all lesson plan or curricula changes submitted by you for inclusion in the Manuals will become our property and you agree to sign all documents necessary to convey all rights and title, including all rights in such lesson plans or curricula to us.
- 11.10 Changes to Approved Suppliers.
We may designate approved suppliers other than us for certain items.
If you want to propose a new supplier of Operating Assets (other than us or our affiliates), you agree to submit to us sufficient written information about the proposed new supplier to enable us to approve or reject either the supplier or the particular items.
We will have at least 90 days from receipt of the information to approve or reject the proposed new supplier or items.
We may change, alter or amend such approval or review periods from time to time.
We may consider in providing such approval not just the quality standards of the products or services, but their delivery capabilities, financing terms and ability to service our franchise system as a whole. We may terminate or withhold approval of any Operating Assets, or any supplier of such items, that does not meet our quality standards by giving you written notice. If we do so, you agree to immediately stop purchasing from such supplier or using such Operating Assets in your School until we notify you that such supplier or such Operating Assets meet our quality standards. At our request, you agree to submit to us sufficient information about a proposed supplier and samples of the proposed Operating Assets for our examination so that we can determine whether they meet our quality standards. We also must have the right to require our representatives to be permitted to inspect the proposed supplier's facilities at your expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may limit the number of approved suppliers with whom you may deal, designate sources that you must use, and/or refuse any of your requests for any reason, including that we have already designated an exclusive source (which might be us or our affiliate) for a particular item or service or if we believe that doing so is in the best interests of the CREATIVE WORLD SCHOOL® system.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, franchisees must maintain an inventory of School Materials and Approved Products and Services. This includes items like aprons bearing the brand's marks, as well as food and art supplies. These supplies must be sufficient to meet the daily demands of the school, as specified in the manuals provided by Creative World School.
Creative World School may designate approved suppliers other than themselves or their affiliates for certain items. If a franchisee wants to propose a new supplier of Operating Assets (other than Creative World School or its affiliates), they must submit sufficient written information about the proposed supplier to enable Creative World School to approve or reject either the supplier or the particular items. Creative World School then has at least 90 days from receipt of the information to approve or reject the proposed new supplier or items.
Creative World School may consider not just the quality standards of the products or services, but their delivery capabilities, financing terms and ability to service their franchise system as a whole when providing such approval. Creative World School may terminate or withhold approval of any Operating Assets, or any supplier of such items, that does not meet their quality standards by giving written notice. The franchisee must immediately stop purchasing from such supplier or using such Operating Assets in their School until Creative World School notifies them that such supplier or such Operating Assets meet their quality standards. Creative World School may limit the number of approved suppliers, designate sources that franchisees must use, and/or refuse any of the franchisee's requests for any reason, including that they have already designated an exclusive source (which might be them or their affiliate) for a particular item or service or if they believe that doing so is in the best interests of the Creative World School system.
