Touching Hearts grants franchisees a Protected Territory where no other Touching Hearts franchise will be established during the agreement term. Franchisees must operate and market only within this area unless given written consent to act outside it. This protection remains even if the local population grows.
However, the territory is not exclusive. The franchisor can operate or license services via other channels, including online platforms, within the territory. If franchisees fail to meet sales targets, the franchisor may revoke territorial rights.
