Contribution Mr. AW Dolphijn in the magazine Contracteren 2022, no. 1 – The standstill period when entering into the franchise agreement
A contribution by mr Dolphijn has been published in the magazine Contracteren with the title: “The standstill period when entering into the franchise agreement”.
The Franchise Act introduces a standstill period for the franchisor prior to entering into a franchise agreement. This standstill period serves as a reflection period for the intended franchisee, but differs from other statutory regulations with a similar purpose. This is analyzed in this contribution.
