Franchise Agreement
A Franchise Agreement defines the relationship between a franchisor and franchisee, setting the terms for brand use, operations, and ongoing support. This playbook outlines key negotiation strategies, performance obligations, and critical clauses to protect both parties’ long-term interests.
Termination Rights
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the termination clause includes both 'for cause' and 'for convenience' options, with clear notice and cure periods. This provides flexibility and protection against unforeseen circumstances.
Negotiate for longer notice periods and reasonable cure periods to allow time to address any issues before termination. This can help maintain the business relationship and avoid abrupt contract end.
Essential elements
1
Notice Period
Timeframe for termination notice.
2
Cure Period
Time to remedy contract breaches.
3
Post-Termination Obligations
Duties after contract ends.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if notice or cure periods are too short or undefined.
EDIT
Reject if the clause lacks termination for cause or convenience.
ADD
Add language for post-termination obligations if missing.
PRO TIP
Always ensure the termination clause aligns with industry-specific regulations to avoid compliance issues.

For contracts in regulated industries, include specific compliance requirements in the termination clause to adhere to industry standards.
Long-Term Contracts
In long-term contracts, consider including periodic review clauses to reassess termination terms and ensure they remain relevant.
