Territory Protection
Colors On Parade grants franchisees a defined territory with a minimum estimated population of 100,000, where they can operate their business.
While franchisees have rights to certain accounts within that territory, they are not given exclusive or protected rights, meaning other franchisees or even the franchisor may operate or distribute services there. Franchisees are also prohibited from soliciting or providing services outside their assigned territory without prior written consent.
The franchise agreement explicitly states that no exclusive, protected, or expansion rights are promised, and Colors On Parade retains the right to operate or license others within the same territory.
