A: To properly answer this question a detailed review of the franchise agreement as well as this particular subdivision of law would be necessary. This would likely take 1 to 2 hours of time and if you are not comfortable doing this on your own you should pay an attorney, such as myself to do a professional and thorough review. The question you posted lacks specificity and really isn't properly the subject of an online forum post which is publicly available.
