Territory Protection

This exclusivity is maintained as long as the franchisee adheres to the terms of the franchise agreement. However, the franchise agreement specifies that operations outside the protected area require prior written approval from the franchisor.
While the franchisee has rights within their Protected Territory, the franchisor retains the ability to conduct certain activities, such as selling products or offering services through other channels within the territory.
