Franchise Contract

Description

This Franchise Contract is an agreement between two legally independent parties (Franchisor and Franchisee) based in the same country. By means of this contract, the Franchisor grants the Franchisee the exclusive right to distribute its products (or services) in establishments which are uniformly equipped and furnished, as well as the right to use industrial property rights (brands, commercial signs, trade marks), while also providing the whole Know-How (Franchise Handbook), and the technical and commercial support for distribution to be carried out correctly. The Franchisee must follow the instructions given by the Franchisor as regards the presentation, commercialization and corporate image on the authorized premises. In recognition of the services provided, the Franchisee pays the Franchisor a series of different fees (Front-end fee, sales fee, advertising fee).

The model is designed for products franchises (foodstuffs, cosmetics, decoration, fashion, textiles, etc.) but with a few slight modifications it may also be used for services franchises (real estate, consultancies, financial services, internet, cleaning services, catering, etc.).

The language of this contract is English. It is also available in Spanish.

This is a model of Franchise Contract between companies based in the same country. If Franchisor and Franchisee are based in different countries the International Franchise Contract should be used.
