Giving a deposit does not generally constitute a contract. However, an individual holding a franchise will not usually permit anyone to examine their books, unless an Agreement of Sale has been signed by the parties. The Agreement of Sale will contain language stating that it is expressly contingent on the books accurately reflecting the Franchisor's representations to the prospective buyer.
