What is the Engel & Volkers franchisee's cure period for breaching advertising standards?

According to Engel & Volkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee breaches the provisions of the franchise agreement relating to advertising standards, including corporate or brand identity, they have three days to cure the breach after receiving written notice from Engel & Volkers. If the franchisee does not resolve the breach within this three-day period, Engel & Volkers has grounds to terminate the franchise agreement.

Engel & Volkers maintains strict control over advertising and promotional materials to ensure brand consistency and protect its trademarks. Franchisees must use only approved design formats and obtain prior written consent for any advertising or sales promotion campaigns that deviate from established practices or System Documentation. This requirement aims to standardize the Engel & Volkers system and maintain a uniform brand image.

Failure to comply with advertising standards can result in termination of the franchise agreement if not rectified within the specified cure period. This highlights the importance of adhering to Engel & Volkers' advertising guidelines and seeking approval for any deviations to avoid potential breaches of the agreement. The short cure period underscores the urgency of addressing such breaches promptly to maintain compliance and avoid termination.
