購買特許經營生意時需要注意哪些法律問題（之一）

對於這樣的問題，主要取決於諸多因素。這裡只列出了兩個因素：時效和撤銷的原因。

根據上訴法院對Arthur Wishart法案的解釋，特許人撤銷特許經營協議的權利有兩個不同的限制期，這取決於特許人何時提供披露文件和是否提供披露文件：

（1）60天撤銷期，特許人未在法定期限內提供披露披露文件，或者提供的披露文件內容不符合相關法定條件的； （2）特許人未能提供披露文件的，為期兩年的撤銷期限。

註：以上文章只是為了作為一般的討論，讀者不能完全以持依靠它作為法律建議。以下為英文原文：

Franchisor』s Disclosure Obligations

Suppose you are interested in purchasing a franchise business.   You sign a franchise agreement with a franchisor.  The agreement gives you the right to acquire and operate a franchise in Richmond Hill.  The agreement does not specify a site for your future franchise.  Rather, the agreement stipulates that a suitable location would be selected through the 「reasonable best efforts」 of both parties.  

suppose the franchise disclosure document from the franchisor gives you an estimated range of costs to construct a leased space.  You find the range acceptable.  

Suppose you and the franchisor then find a location in Richmond Hill for your franchise business.  However, a dispute arises because the actual construction cost far exceeds the estimated range of costs contained in the franchisor's disclosure document.

Can you back out of the franchise agreement? In other words, can you rescind the agreement?  It depends on many factors.  Only two factors are listed here: timing and the reason for rescission.

According to the Court of Appeal's interpretation of the Arthur Wishart Act, a franchisee's right to rescind a franchise agreement has two different limitation periods, depending on when and whether the franchisor provides a disclosure document: (1) a 60-day rescission period if either a franchisor fails to deliver a disclosure document within the statutorily imposed time periods, or the contents of a disclosure document do not meet the statutory requirements; and (2) a two-year rescission period in the event of a failure by the franchisor to deliver a disclosure document.

The above is only intended to provide general information for discussion purposes.  No reader is entitled to rely on it as legal advice.
