Recruit a franchisee from another network

As part of the development of your brand, a distributor already operating other brands would like to join you. 

They have the capital, skills and, if applicable, locations that you validate and you want to sign a contract with them that allows them to operate your brand. 

This situation of opportunity involves legal risks that must be managed: this distributor may have entered into exclusivity commitments with other brands (non-compete clauses for example). 

If the conclusion of your contract leads it to violate these exclusivity commitments, you would be a third party complicit in this violation and incur tort liability vis-à-vis the creditor of the exclusivity clause. 

If you recruit several distributors of the same brand by canvassing them, a possible unfair competition by disorganization, incurring your civil liability in tort could also be blamed on you.
