What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Creative World School may require that the lease or any renewal of the lease for the franchise location contain specific provisions. These mandatory lease terms are designed to protect Creative World School's interests and ensure the consistent operation of the franchise.
Specifically, Creative World School may require a provision that allows the lessor to provide Creative World School with revenue and other operational information about the school as requested. They may also require the lessor to provide copies of any default notices sent to the franchisee and grant Creative World School the option to cure any default within 15 days after the franchisee's cure period expires.
Additionally, Creative World School can mandate a provision that ensures the franchisee's right to display trademarks, requires lenders not to disturb the franchisee's possession as long as the lease continues without default, states that any uncured lease default is grounds for franchise termination, sets a lease term equal to the franchise term, and stipulates that the premises must be operated as a school. These requirements ensure that the lease aligns with the franchise agreement and operational standards of Creative World School.
