What are the cooperation requirements for each party to give effect to the provisions of clause 24 for Bevaris Alliance?

According to the 2024 Bevaris Alliance Franchise Disclosure Document, clause 24.13 states that each party involved in an expert determination must act reasonably and cooperate to ensure the provisions of the clause are effective. This means both Bevaris Alliance and the franchisee must work together to facilitate the expert's ability to reach a determination.

Specifically, both parties are required to avoid any actions that could hinder or prevent the expert from making their determination. This implies a proactive approach to assist the expert, providing necessary information and access to relevant resources.

In practical terms, a Bevaris Alliance franchisee should be prepared to promptly respond to requests from the expert, provide documentation, and make personnel available as needed. Failure to cooperate could negatively impact the outcome of the expert determination and potentially lead to legal or financial repercussions.
