After termination of a Bevaris Alliance franchise, to whom must all inquiries and details of potential customers be passed?

According to the 2024 Bevaris Alliance Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee is required to pass all inquiries made after the termination, along with full details of potential customers, to Bevaris Alliance. This obligation is part of the broader consequences of termination outlined in the franchise agreement.

This requirement ensures that Bevaris Alliance retains control over customer relationships and potential business opportunities even after a franchise agreement ends. It prevents a former franchisee from capitalizing on leads or customer information developed during the franchise term. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as the customer base is often considered a key asset of the franchise system.

For a prospective Bevaris Alliance franchisee, this means that upon termination, they will lose any potential future business derived from customer inquiries or leads generated during their time as a franchisee. They must transfer all relevant information to Bevaris Alliance, effectively relinquishing any opportunity to continue serving those customers independently. Franchisees should consider this when evaluating the potential long-term value of the franchise and the implications of a possible termination.
