‍Territory Protection

The franchisor offers a Protected Territory to its franchisees, ensuring that no other franchise using the same trademarks or providing similar services will be established within that area.

The boundaries of this territory are determined by mutual agreement based on factors like demographics, population, and competition. Once established, these boundaries cannot be altered without the consent of both parties.

Within the Protected Territory, franchisees are granted exclusive rights to operate and market their services. The franchisor will not license competitors or open company-owned units in this area during the term of the franchise agreement.
