This Exclusive Territory Franchise Agreement is designed for use in the New Zealand market where a business (franchisor) wishes to grant exclusive rights to operate their business system within a defined territory to another party (franchisee). The agreement is essential for businesses expanding through franchising while maintaining control over their brand and system. It includes comprehensive provisions for protecting intellectual property, maintaining operational standards, and ensuring compliance with New Zealand legislation. The document addresses key aspects such as initial and ongoing fees, training requirements, operational standards, territorial protection, and termination rights. This agreement is particularly crucial as it provides the franchisee with exclusive rights within their territory, preventing the franchisor from establishing competing units or granting other franchises within the specified area.
