Does Caring Senior Service have the right to be acquired?

We reserve the right to establish or operate, or franchise any other franchisee to establish or operate, a Business under the System at any location outside of the Protected Territory. We (and any affiliates that we periodically might have) have the right:

• (a) to establish and operate, and grant rights to other franchisees to establish and operate, Caring Senior Service Businesses or similar businesses at any locations outside of the Protected Territory and on any terms and conditions we deem appropriate;
• (b) to sell services and products identical or similar to, or dissimilar from, those your Franchised Business sells, whether identified by the Proprietary Marks or other trademarks or service marks through alternative distribution channels, wherever located or operating. The term "alternative distribution channels" includes the Internet, catalog sales, telemarketing or other direct marketing sales;
• (c) to purchase or otherwise acquire the assets or controlling ownership of one (1) or more businesses identical or similar to your Business, some or all of which might be located anywhere, including within the Protected Territory;
• (d) to be acquired; and
• (e) to engage in any other business activities not expressly prohibited by this Agreement, both within and outside the Protected Territory.

You may not relocate the Business from the approved site, except as provided above. Pursuant to this Agreement, you may sell the Approved Services to clients and prospective clients located anywhere but who choose to use your Business. You shall be prohibited from engaging in any promotional activities or selling any products or services, whether directly or indirectly, through or on the Internet, the World Wide Web, or any other similar proprietary or common carrier electronic delivery system (collectively, the "Electronic Media"); through catalogs or other mail order devices sent or directed to clients or prospective clients located anywhere; or by telecopy or other telephonic or electronic communications, including tollfree numbers, directed to or received from clients or prospective clients located anywhere, without our consent. While you may place advertisements in printed media and on television and radio that are targeted to clients and prospective clients located within the Protected Territory, you will not be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if those advertisements, because of the natural circulation of the printed media or reach of television and radio, are viewed by prospective clients outside of the Protected Territory.
