What is the required form for approvals or consents given by Creative World School?
Creative_World_School Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
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)
The Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document states that if a franchisee wants to propose a new supplier of operating assets, they must submit sufficient written information to Creative World School to enable them to approve or reject the supplier or the particular items. Creative World School then has at least 90 days from receiving the information to make a decision.
Creative World School may consider the quality standards of the products or services, their delivery capabilities, financing terms, and ability to service the franchise system when providing approval. Creative World School can also terminate or withhold approval of any operating assets or any supplier that does not meet their quality standards by giving the franchisee written notice. In this case, the franchisee must immediately stop purchasing from the supplier or using those operating assets until Creative World School notifies them that the supplier or operating assets meet their standards.
Creative World School may request sufficient information about a proposed supplier and samples of the proposed operating assets for examination to determine if they meet quality standards. They also have the right to have their representatives inspect the proposed supplier's facilities at the franchisee's expense. Creative World School may limit the number of approved suppliers, designate sources that the franchisee must use, and/or refuse any requests for any reason, including having already designated an exclusive source for a particular item or service or if they believe it is in the best interests of the Creative World School system.
While the FDD specifies the process for proposing and gaining approval for new suppliers, it does not specify a particular form that must be used. A prospective franchisee should ask Creative World School for clarification on the specific forms or templates required for submitting supplier information and obtaining approvals to ensure compliance with their procedures.
