Instant Imprints - Area Rep Program lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Instant Imprints - Area Rep Program's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) does disclose 5 legal proceedings in Item 3 .

Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Instant Imprints - Area Rep Program itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 2 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
