Re: franchise contract

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney�s individualized advice for you. By reading the �Response� to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

RESPONSE: It does not sound like it would be something that would be authorized but there is no way to know unless you read the original contract that you signed. That will specify exactly what they can and cannot do, and when the contract terminates. IF the contract has terminated then the parties are free to negotiate new terms. Good luck,
