Compare two versions of a franchise agreement
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- List clauses that differ, with the heading and the page in each version. Do not produce a merged agreement or a sentence for either version.
- What the lawyer must review
- 16 C.F.R. § 436.2(b) requires the franchisor to furnish a revised agreement at least seven calendar days before signing when the franchisor unilaterally and materially alters the basic franchise agreement or a related agreement attached to the disclosure document. Changes that arise from negotiations the prospective franchisee initiated do not trigger that period. You decide whether a difference is material. The comparison is not the document that will be signed. Section 436.9 was not re-read for this task beyond the furnishing rule in § 436.2.
