About the New Jersey Franchise Law & Practices Act
New Jersey has one of the strongest pro-franchisee laws in the country, the New Jersey Franchise Practices Act. It applies to franchisees, dealers and distributors located in the state and contains these important protections:
- The franchisor or manufacturer cannot terminate or refuse to renew a franchise except for good cause, after an opportunity to cure. In other words, so long as you, the franchisee, comply with the reasonable terms of the franchise, you will be protected. The courts of New Jersey have said that New Jersey franchisees have “perpetual” franchises.
- As a franchisee, you have the right to sell or transfer your franchise to any qualified buyer. The franchisor cannot unreasonably interfere with your right to sell or transfer.
- The franchisor may not impose “unreasonable standards of conduct” on you as a franchisee. That means that the franchisor cannot, among other things, make you do things that are unreasonably costly or burdensome.
Ultimately, these protections, as part of the New Jersey Franchise Practices Act, are set up so that the state regulates the franchise relationship between franchisor and franchisee. If you are having any kind of dispute, you want proven, New Jersey franchise lawyers to represent your interests.
