The Franchise License Agreement is a crucial document used when establishing a franchise business relationship in Austria. It serves as the foundational contract between a franchisor who wishes to expand their business through franchising and a franchisee who wants to operate under the franchisor's established business system. The agreement must comply with Austrian commercial law (UGB), civil law (ABGB), and EU regulations, particularly regarding competition law and territorial restrictions. This document outlines the complete franchise relationship, including initial and ongoing fees, operational requirements, quality standards, territory rights, intellectual property usage, and termination conditions. It's essential for protecting both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with Austrian and EU legal frameworks, including data protection regulations (GDPR) and trade secrets protection.
