The Franchisor is entitled to transfer this Contract to a third party (provided that the System shall also be transferred) subject, however, to the Franchisor’s obligation to inform the Franchisee in writing of this transfer no later than 10 days before the date upon which the transfer becomes effective.

Most franchise agreements do not impose on the franchisor the obligation to obtain the franchisee’s prior consent should it wish to transfer the agreement to a third party. In some countries, the franchisor may be required to remain jointly liable with the assignee for certain obligations.
