Do the restrictions on a Bevaris Alliance franchisee apply if they are acting on behalf of another entity?

According to the 2024 Bevaris Alliance Franchise Disclosure Document, the restrictions imposed on franchisees apply whether they are acting directly or indirectly. These restrictions also apply whether the franchisee is acting on their own behalf, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any firm, company, or person. This means that a franchisee cannot circumvent the restrictions outlined in the franchise agreement by operating through another entity or in partnership with another party.

This provision ensures that Bevaris Alliance franchisees are held accountable for adhering to the franchise agreement, regardless of the structure they use to conduct business. It prevents franchisees from using a separate business or partnership to engage in activities that would otherwise be prohibited under the agreement. This is a common clause in franchise agreements designed to protect the franchisor's brand and business model.

For a prospective Bevaris Alliance franchisee, this means they must fully understand and comply with all restrictions, even if they operate through a company or with partners. Failure to comply with these restrictions, whether acting directly or indirectly, could result in a breach of the franchise agreement and potential legal consequences. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of these restrictions and ensure they are in compliance.
