What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, Creative World School reserves the right to make the Manuals accessible to franchisees online via computer systems or any other electronic format, such as the Internet, intranet, websites, e-mail, or CD-ROM. However, the FDD stipulates that any form of the Manuals accessible online or by other electronic format is Creative World School's proprietary information and will be deemed Confidential Information.
As a Creative World School franchisee, you must maintain the Manuals as confidential and keep the information secret. The Manuals may be modified, updated, and revised to reflect changes in System Standards. Franchisees must keep their printed copy of the Manuals current and in a secure location at the School.
In the event of a dispute relating to the contents of any printed copy of the Manual, the master copy of the Manuals maintained at Creative World School's principal office will be controlling. However, if Creative World School utilizes online or electronic format Manuals, the most recent online (or electronic format) Manuals will control any disputes between the online (or electronic format) version and printed copies of the Manuals. Franchisees may not copy, duplicate, record, or otherwise reproduce any part of the Manuals. If a copy of the Manuals is lost, destroyed, or significantly damaged, a franchisee must obtain a replacement copy at Creative World School's then-applicable charge, which is currently $1,000.
