Does the Monicals Pizza Franchise Agreement establish a fiduciary relationship between the franchisor and franchisee?

11. RELATIONSHIP AND INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Relationship

This Development Agreement is purely a contractual relationship between the parties and does not appoint or make Developer an agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner, employee, servant or independent contractor of Franchisor for any purpose whatsoever. Developer may not represent or imply to third parties that Developer is an agent of Franchisor, and Developer is in no way authorized to make any contract, agreement, warranty or representation on behalf of Franchisor, or to create any obligation, expressed or implied, on Franchisor's behalf. Under no circumstances shall Franchisor be liable for any act, omission, contract, debt or any other obligation of Developer. In no event shall this Development Agreement or any conduct pursuant hereto make Franchisor a fiduciary with respect to Developer. Franchisor shall in no way be responsible for any injuries to persons or property resulting from the development of any Monical's Restaurant pursuant to this Development Agreement. Any third party contractors and vendors retained by Developer for remodeling or construction are independent contractors of Developer alone.

11.2 Standard of Care

This Development Agreement does not establish a fiduciary relationship between the parties. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Development Agreement with respect to certain issues, whenever this Development Agreement requires Developer to obtain Franchisor's written consent or permits Franchisor to take any action or refrain from taking any action, Franchisor is free to act in its own self-interest without any obligation to act reasonably, to consider the impact on Developer or to act subject to any other standard of care limiting Franchisor's right, except as may be provided by statute or regulation.
