The Agreement Between Franchisor And Franchisee is a fundamental legal document used when establishing a franchise business relationship in Canada. This agreement is essential for businesses expanding through the franchise model and must comply with various provincial franchise laws, such as Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act and similar legislation in other provinces. The document serves as the primary contract governing the entire franchise relationship, detailing everything from initial setup to ongoing operations and eventual termination or renewal. It includes comprehensive provisions for intellectual property rights, operational standards, financial obligations, territory rights, and compliance requirements. The agreement must incorporate mandatory disclosure requirements and fair dealing obligations as required by Canadian provincial franchise laws, while also addressing federal regulations regarding competition, trademarks, and privacy.
