-
- California Law Regarding Termination, Transfer, and Nonrenewal. California Business and Professions Code Sections 20000 through 20043 provide rights to franchisees concerning termination, transfer, or non-renewal of a franchise. If the Franchise Agreement contains a provision that is inconsistent with the law, the law will control.

- Bankruptcy. The Franchise Agreement provides for termination upon bankruptcy. This provision might not be enforceable under federal bankruptcy law (11. U.S.C.A. Sec. 101 et seq.), but we will enforce it if enforceable.
-
- Post-Termination Noncompetition Covenants. The Franchise Agreement contains covenants not to compete that extend beyond the termination of the franchise. This provision may not be enforceable under California law.
-
- Arbitration. Prospective franchisees are encouraged to consult private legal counsel to determine the applicability of California and federal laws (such as Business and Professions Code Section 20040.5, Code of Civil Procedures Section 1281, and the Federal Arbitration Act) to any provisions of a franchise agreement restricting venue to a forum outside the State of California.
-
- Applicable Law. The Franchise Agreement requires application of the laws of the State of Utah. This provision may not be enforceable under California law.
