Terms of Use

By accessing or using the BrightPath Education Franchise platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of this website immediately.

BrightPath is an independent educational and research platform published by AltFTool. • **Not a Franchisor**: We do not own, operate, grant, sell, or award any franchise system. Any franchise agreement you may enter into in the future is strictly between you and an independent franchisor. • **Not a Franchise Broker**: We are not a franchise broker, franchise sales organization (FSO), or placement agent. We are not paid placement commissions to steer prospective buyers toward specific brands. • **No Legal, Tax, or Financial Advice**: The materials provided on BrightPath are for general educational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes legal, accounting, tax, or investment advice. You must consult a qualified franchise attorney and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) prior to executing any binding agreement or paying any funds.

All initial investment figures, franchise fees, royalty percentages, brand fund contributions, and working capital estimates displayed on BrightPath are **illustrative published category ranges** compiled from publicly available Franchise Disclosure Documents and regulatory filings. • Ranges do not represent an official quote, guarantee, or contractual offer. • Operating costs vary drastically based on commercial real estate leases, geographic territory, local construction rates, and state childcare licensing requirements. • The current Franchise Disclosure Document issued directly by a franchisor is the sole legal source of truth.

Under the Federal Trade Commission's Franchise Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 436), a franchisor must provide you with its complete 23-Item Franchise Disclosure Document at least **14 calendar days** before you sign any contract or make any payment to the franchisor or its affiliate. BrightPath strongly advises all prospective owners to utilize the full 14-day statutory period to independently review all disclosures, speak with current and former franchisees listed in Item 20, and retain professional legal and accounting counsel.

All proprietary text, visual layout, software tools, code, and graphic assets on BrightPath are the intellectual property of AltFTool. Any third-party brand names, logos, or commercial marks referenced on this website belong exclusively to their respective owners. Their mention is strictly for editorial, informational, and comparative identification and does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship.

The platform and all included materials are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AltFTool and its officers, directors, and affiliates disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of this information or subsequent commercial decisions.
