What is the Gokhale Method, as defined in the Gokhale Method Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are granted the right to teach the "Gokhale System" in authorized formats and to specific student categories. The Franchise Agreement emphasizes that every aspect of the Gokhale System and the franchised business is crucial for maintaining high-quality service and product delivery.

The agreement requires franchisees to adhere to operating standards detailed in the agreement itself, the Teacher's Manual, and any Policy Statements issued by Gokhale Method. Franchisees must only teach the Gokhale System using approved formats and related classes, services, and products that have been expressly approved in writing by Gokhale Method. Deviation from these standards is not permitted without prior written consent from the company.

This means that as a franchisee, you must strictly adhere to the methods, materials, and guidelines provided by Gokhale Method. Any deviation or unauthorized teaching methods could lead to suspension of teaching rights or termination of the Franchise Agreement. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit B, which outlines the approved formats and their requirements, to fully understand the scope and limitations of the franchise.
