Item 17: Renewal, Termination, Transfer, and Dispute Resolution

Information about the location and summary of certain contractual terms in the franchise agreement that govern the franchise relationship, including those relating to renewal, termination, transfer and dispute resolution. Depending on the nature of the franchise system, Item 17 may be one of the shorter and less complex Items in the FDD. While it is not as dense as other Items, a franchisor may employ artful drafting in Item 17 so as to paint the franchise system in the best possible light.
