Does Crave Cookies grant franchisees an exclusive territory?

ional franchises.

Territory Protection

You will not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control.

In your franchise agreement, we grant you a protected territory. In your territory, we will not establish either a company-owned or franchised outlet selling the same or similar goods or services under the same or similar trademarks or service marks as a Crave Cookies outlet, except for restaurants located in limited access venues or non-traditional outlet. A limited access venues are venues that serve primarily the customers located within a facility, such as enclosed shopping centers, universities, churches and other religious institutions, sports stadiums, amusement parks, airports, transportation centers, hospitals, military complexes and restricted business complexes. A limited access venue may require an entrance ticket or special permission for a person to be present in a venue.

If your franchise is located in a "limited access venue", then your territory will consist of the venue.

Restrictions on Us from Soliciting or Accepting Orders in Your Territory

There are no restrictions on us from soliciting or accepting orders from consumers inside your territory. We reserve the right to use other channels of distribution, such as the internet, catalog sales, telemarketing, or other direct marketing sales, to make sales within your territory using our principal trademarks or using trademarks different from the ones you will use under your franchise agreement. We do not pay any compensation to you for soliciting or accepting orders from inside your territory. You do not have the right to the right to use other channels of distribution, such as the internet, catalog sales, telemarketing, or other direct marketing sales outside your territory unless you receive written permission from us.

Soliciting by You Outside Your Territory

There are no restrictions on you from soliciting orders from consumers outside of your territory, so long as the territory is not owned by another franchisee. You may accept unsolicited orders from any territory, whether or not they are owned by another franchisee. You may not solicit orders from a territory owned by another franchisee. We must approve all of you marketing and advertising.

Non-Traditional Outlets

We and our affiliates, either personally or through agents and representatives, exclusively reserve the right to sell Crave products and outlets through non-traditional franchises at our discretion, both within and without your territory, without paying compensation to you. These

franchises may include locations at convention centers, sporting arenas, airports, bookstores, malls, grocery and convenience stores, or other similar locations.

Competition by Us Under Different Trademarks

Neither we nor any of our affiliates operates, franchises, or has plans to operate or franchise a business under a different trademark selling menu items, beverages, goods or services similar to those you will offer. However, the franchise agreement does not prohibit us from doing so.
