ICC Model Contract International Franchising

No. #839E-1

Designed by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) for non-specialists who are seeking an adaptable contractual framework, the ICC Model Contract International Franchising covers distribution franchise arrangements.

It helps franchisors and franchisees across a range of industries overcome difficulties caused by the lack of uniform international rules, by providing guidance on anti-trust rules and questions of laws applicable to franchises, among others. A commentary offers alternative drafting solutions adapted to more specific needs and identifies potential pitfalls.

Each ICC Model Contract includes a fully editable version in Microsoft Word, permitting you to easily adapt the contract to your specific case.
