Advertising Materials. Before you use them, any advertising, promotional, and marketing materials (in any form or format) that we have not prepared or previously accepted, you must send us samples for review. If you do not receive written rejection within 10 days after we receive the materials, they are deemed to be accepted.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee submits advertising, promotional, or marketing materials that Engineering For Kids has not previously prepared or accepted, the franchisee must send samples for review. Engineering For Kids has 10 days to provide a written rejection of the submitted materials after they receive them.
If the franchisee does not receive a written rejection within this 10-day period, the materials are considered accepted. This implies that the franchisee can proceed with using the submitted advertising materials without explicit approval. However, the franchisee is prohibited from using any advertising, promotional, or marketing materials that Engineering For Kids has explicitly rejected.
This process ensures that Engineering For Kids maintains control over its brand image and marketing strategies while allowing franchisees some flexibility in creating their own materials. Franchisees need to be aware of this 10-day deadline to avoid delays in their marketing efforts and ensure compliance with Engineering For Kids's policies.
