In recent years, with the increasingly popular trend venture, a franchise business chain to more and more people joined the dispute also increases. These disputes have largely attributable to the accession agreement, to join the former headquarters of the Union, not to elaborate on the franchise contract, and those who join often without in-depth understanding signed on the contract, the two sides deal with their fuzzy, have disputes is not surprising. ? In fact, join in the execution of contracts before joining, it should be in-depth understanding of the contents of contracts to ensure that their own rights and interests. Not that contracts are joining headquarters standard model can not be amended. In fact, the contract should be through mutual agreement between the two parties after the ensuing. In other words, to join those looking to see not only the content, the more right to request modifications. This article provides the following matters to 10:00 for the franchise when they signed the contract as a reference. ?? First, the headquarters should be required to join to produce services logo registration card. Because the so-called accession, is the headquarters of brand authorization for the use of franchise business, in other words, it must have the headquarters of the brand, can be delegated to franchise business. In other words, the headquarters must obtain the Central Bureau of Standards, issued by the logo registration card would do. A while ago, which happened to a certain Chinese restaurant chain system case of the dispute, making the old and new systems into two fair trade commission Later, the losing party were forced to change their brand names, turn the system has to join the franchise business will be forced to change its name, How is innocent ah! So join in the Union, must first confirm headquarters is owned by a brand, they will feel relieved to join. ?? Second, the right of payment. Generally, the headquarters will join three were charged fees are joining gold, and the right margin. The so-called accession, which is headquartered in reality before joining done to help the overall reality of planning, and education and training are the charges. And the right to refer to the headquarters of the franchise business use of trademarks, goodwill and access for payment of costs, This is a continual charges, as long as the franchise business headquarters of the sustainable use of trademarks, we must pay regularly. The payment period may be once a year, quarterly or monthly payment. As for the bond, is the headquarters for the Union to ensure that those contracts will be fulfilled and punctual payment of the purchase price, such as the fees charged. Which, due to the continuing right of the charges, some joining headquarters in contracting, Union demands were opening a period of the contract the full right to check, for example, the contract period of five years, The right to take years to pay, some of the headquarters were asked to join the five-year rights payment Qi opened a five checks to pay headquarters. Later, there were such cases, a system of the lessons of the franchise, 2002, because of poor business closed down But knowing well in advance that when contracts are signed, Qi has held the rights to the five-year pay check to the headquarters. It stands to reason that after three years since the shop has not received the headquarters of the use of trademarks, goodwill, it would not have to pay for the rights, However headquarters still be given the checks rolling into bank withdrawals, this has caused the franchise, not only loss of business, 2002, Another must have already left for the hospital to pay the amount of the check! Therefore, those who join the event of a request headquarters opened Qi contract period, All rights payment check denominations, must remember that a notation in the contract, when the franchise business resumption shop no longer the reality. Headquarters must be returned unexpired of money to protect their own interests. ?? Third, the headquarters Availability of the price. Union contracts generally, the headquarters will be asked to join those who will purchase the headquarters, not in private purchases. This point is often headquarters and franchisee dispute the most part. Often think that because the franchise business headquarters of the High Availability prices, then have their own overseas purchases. However Headquarters chain system based on quality, the consistency required to be a unified franchise business headquarters procurement, So the dispute arose. A more reasonable approach is to join in the execution of the contract, that the headquarters should be asked to supply the price shall not be higher than market price, higher rates or by how much it is acceptable, in order to avoid price after the two sides to a dispute over retirement. ?? Fourth, the business district security issues. Usually Union headquarters to ensure that the trading interests of the franchise business, will provide elementary protection, It is in a particular market area within no longer set up a second branch stores. Therefore, the protection of persons joining Sowntown what is the extent, need to be very clear. But common situation, the protection of business district headquarters not far outside the range, then opened a second shop, affect the business of the original franchise business triggered protests. In fact, if the headquarters opened outside the protection of the local market area, the franchise business and the right to protest. But it is worth mentioning is that the system because some chain or franchise business has reached saturation point increase at the elementary protection, it is very difficult to think their new franchise business, then the second ploy brand development. This means that the use of another new brand name, and business content with the original brand identical, This would not have restricted the original brand protection limits the market area. For example, there have been a chain system realtors is the case, they would of course lead to the end of the rally to protest franchise business. Therefore, joining To safeguard their own interests, when contracts are signed, best describing the development of the headquarters may not be exactly the same business as the second brand. ?? Fifth, the ancillary provisions. Forbidding called, is the headquarters for the protection and management of intellectual property technology, and by joining an open drain, asked to join in during the existence of the contract, or after a certain period of time, not to engage in the original franchise business sectors of the same provisions. This one norms designed to protect the headquarters of the intellectual property rights, and beyond reproach, the Fair Trade Commission is satisfied that it is not illegal. Forbidding But what should the age limit how long it will be reasonable? If it is too long and it may affect the future of the franchise rights work. This, the system had a chain of ancillary provisions for three years, the franchise business divisions into fair trade commission FTC that it is an ancillary reasonable, but whether that three years is too long? Later, the headquarters was also very sensible to put three to one. So join in the contract must be considered, so that a clear impact on the future livelihoods. ?? Sixth, regulatory problems. Union contracts generally content ranged from 15 to 20, to more than seven, 80 to 100, But normally would have such a requirement, "the contracts outstanding issues, according to the headquarters noted management regulations. "If the Union is faced with this kind of situation, the best management requirements headquarters regulations attached to the contract back, as the contract annex. Because management regulations formulated by the headquarters, the headquarters of the contract can not specified, all in their management regulations, modified at any time and do as it pleases, then join those who have had let the mercy of the headquarters. ?? Seventh, on default penalties. Since joining the contract is prepared by the Secretariat, the headquarters will be more advantageous to the penalties for breach of contract, usually only shown against joining the part of the headquarters for breach of contract portion of it is silent. Those joining should be made relatively requirements specifying headquarters default penalty provisions, particularly provisions headquarters should provide services and logistical support, should require headquarters indeed reached. ?? Eighth, on the handling of the dispute. Union general contract will provide for the jurisdiction of the court, but usually the headquarters of the district court's jurisdiction for the court. For the future if necessary, headquarters personnel from the nearby Court more convenient. What is worth mentioning is that there have been a Union headquarters in the contract stipulates that those who wish to join the court proceedings, need to go through the headquarters of the conciliation committee. In such a situation, we should first understand the mediation committee composed of members of those people? If all of the headquarters staff, then of course the result of mediation will be favoritism towards the headquarters, to the detriment of the franchise. Because of the contract, the franchise can not be overlooked Mediation Committee, and directly to the court proceedings. So my suggestion to join in similar terms, they should delete. Ninth, contract termination action. When the contract is terminated, who, together, the most important thing is to get back bonds. At this time, the headquarters of the franchise will examine whether there is any breach of contract or money owed, and Headquarters may be required to join the free signboards removed and, if everything goes smoothly with no money owed, headquarters that is refunded bonds. But if a dispute arises, whether to demolish the signs often become the focus of the two wrestling. Some even own headquarters employed demolition signs were joining in these cases will depend on the signs was originally funded by whomever determined. If funded by the Union, then signs "objects" on the ownership of the franchise belongs to all. Although the headquarters has trademark ownership, but not dismantle. If we really want to demolition, it must be enforceable in court, if to remove their headquarters, commits the offense of the damage. ?? 10th, this is the last point to note is that the contract signed, both sides must be armed with a. Had a supermarket chain system contract with the franchise after its headquarters registrations contract, not to join a stay, Later, a lawsuit by the Fair Trade Commission will correct. Therefore, the franchise must make sure to keep a copy of your order to understand the contents of contracts to ensure that their own rights and interests. ?? Course, the most important thing is to see the contents of the contracts should re turn understanding, If there are any unknown or uncertain, should be asked to clear the headquarters staff. Only the signing of the contract, and careful understanding of the contract in order to minimize future disputes have
