## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Franchising & Distribution](https://ailawframework.com/practice/franchising-and-distribution.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Record the date the renewal or extension documents were given, and count 14 days from that date. Note that the page describes them as the same documents given to a prospective or new franchisee. Do not treat the period as a right to end the agreement. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides when the documents were given and whether the waiting period has finished. If a franchisee is renewing or extending, the franchisor must give the same documents given to prospective and new franchisees. After those documents are given, there is a mandatory 14-day waiting period before the agreement can be renewed or extended. The franchisee should look for changes since the last agreement. This 14 days is a wait before renewal or extension. It is not the 14 days to end an agreement after lease documents arrive, and it is not the timetable before a person first enters a franchise. The page does not list the documents on this screen. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The lawyer checks the 14-day wait after the renewal or extension documents are given.

- What the AI does: Record the date the renewal or extension documents were given, and count 14 days from that date. Note that the page describes them as the same documents given to a prospective or new franchisee. Do not treat the period as a right to end the agreement.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides when the documents were given and whether the waiting period has finished. If a franchisee is renewing or extending, the franchisor must give the same documents given to prospective and new franchisees. After those documents are given, there is a mandatory 14-day waiting period before the agreement can be renewed or extended. The franchisee should look for changes since the last agreement. This 14 days is a wait before renewal or extension. It is not the 14 days to end an agreement after lease documents arrive, and it is not the timetable before a person first enters a franchise. The page does not list the documents on this screen.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. The 14 days start when the renewal or extension documents are given, not when lease documents arrive.
2. The agreement is not renewed or extended during that wait.
3. The count is not a right to end the agreement and not the timetable before a first entry.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
