Contribution Mr. AW Dolphijn in Contracting magazine 2018, no. 1: “The unilateral amendment clause in the franchise agreement.”

A contribution by mr Dolphijn has been published in the magazine Contracteren entitled: “The unilateral amendment clause in the Franchise Agreement”. 

The question of whether the franchise formula may be changed by the franchisor, and to what extent, can be a source of conflict. The assessment concerns the wording of the amendment clause, the amendment itself and other circumstances. Against this background, the contribution considers which factors may be important in the case of a permissible appeal by a franchisor to a clause in a franchise agreement for unilateral change of the franchise formula.
