Although we will consult with you on your site for your Studio, assist you in finding an acceptable location, and require that your site for your Studio be subject to our final authorization, you have the ultimate responsibility in choosing, obtaining, and developing the site for your Studio. You are responsible for conforming the premises to local ordinances and building codes, obtaining the required permits, and constructing, remodeling and decorating the premises. We will not provide assistance for any of these franchisee obligations.
You will be responsible for general training of your employees and independent contractors. You will also be responsible for hiring, directing, scheduling, and supervising your employees and independent contractors in the day-to-day operations of the Extreme Art Studio Business (See Franchise Agreement – Sections 4.1 and 4.5).

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 11 outlines various responsibilities of the owners. The table of contents in Exhibit C of the FDD lists 'Responsibilities of Owners,' including responsibilities to customers, employees, the franchisor, and other franchisees. This suggests that owners have obligations extending to various stakeholders within the Extreme Art Studio system.
Extreme Art Studio owners have the ultimate responsibility for choosing, obtaining, and developing the site for their Studio, even though the franchisor will consult on the site. This includes conforming to local ordinances and building codes, obtaining required permits, and managing the construction, remodeling, and decorating of the premises. The franchisor does not provide assistance for these obligations.
Franchisees are also responsible for the general training, hiring, directing, scheduling, and supervising of their employees and independent contractors in the day-to-day operations of the Extreme Art Studio Business. This indicates that the franchisee must handle all aspects of staff management and ensure smooth business operations.
These responsibilities highlight that while Extreme Art Studio provides support and guidance, the franchisee is ultimately accountable for site development, regulatory compliance, and staff management. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider these obligations and ensure they have the resources and capabilities to fulfill them.
