True North Restoration grants its franchisees a designated Territory where, under its Territory Policy, the franchisor agrees not to establish or franchise another business.
However, this Territory is not exclusive, meaning franchisees may still encounter competition from other franchisees, company-owned units, or other distribution channels operated by the franchisor.
While referral sources can be contacted and advertising may occur within the Territory, any marketing or service provision beyond that area requires prior written approval. The franchisor also reserves several rights within the Territory, including operating through National Account relationships or using the brand via alternative channels.
