Master Franchisee further acknowledges that the Intranet facility and all communications posted to it are Franchisor's property, free of any claims of privacy or privilege that Master Franchisee or any other person may assert.
• (c) Master Franchisee must establish and continually maintain (during all times that the Intranet is operational and until the termination of this Agreement) an electronic connection (the specifications of which will be specified in the Operations Manual) with the Intranet that allows Franchisor to send messages to, and receive messages from Master Franchisee, subject to Franchisor's standards and specifications.
