Under what law is the Creative World School Release governed?

According to the 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document, the Release is governed by Florida law. This means that any legal disputes or interpretations regarding the Release will be subject to the laws of the State of Florida, regardless of where the franchisee is located, unless a specific state rider modifies this.

This is a common practice in franchising, where the franchisor often designates a specific state's laws to govern the franchise agreement and related documents to ensure consistency and predictability in legal matters. However, franchisees should be aware that this may require them to engage legal counsel familiar with Florida law if disputes arise, potentially increasing costs if they are not located in Florida.

It's important to note that certain states, like Maryland, may have specific addenda or riders that modify the governing law or terms of the release to comply with local franchise laws. Therefore, prospective Creative World School franchisees should carefully review any state-specific riders or addenda included in their Franchise Agreement to understand how these local laws may impact the general terms of the Release and the Franchise Agreement.
