FASA TO TIGHTEN UP ITS CODE OF ETHICS RELATING TO THE REFUND OF DEPOSITS

Ahead of the Consumer Protection Act regulations that will reflect FASa's Code of Ethics and as a result of some complaints received by the Franchise Association of South Africa (FASA), the question of the refund of deposits by prospective franchisees is being seriously reviewed by the association in view of a number of complaints that have been received.

With FASA's primary role that of ensuring that all its members adhere to the franchise business principles adopted and accepted in the Code of Ethics and Business Practices, it is disturbing that reports of some franchisors, whether FASA members or not, have been taking deposits from prospective franchisees and then are stalling when it comes to refunding those deposits when potential franchisees are not accepted for whatever reason.

THE 2010 WORLD CUP -DOs AND DON'Ts OF MARKETING

The 2010 World Cup is widely being touted as an unparalleled marketing opportunity for South Africa and its business community.

Naturally, however, the commercial potential of an international event of this magnitude is not fair game for anyone to exploit. FIFA, as the "owner" of the event, is at pains to ensure not only that the goodwill and reputation attached to the event are not open to abuse, but that the interests of the official sponsors (in other words those who have entered into agreements with FIFA and who have paid substantial sums of money for the right to have their names attached to the event) are not undermined by "ambush marketing".

"Ambush marketing" is the colloquial term applied to any attempt by a supplier to associate its products or services with an event, despite not being an official sponsor. The supplier uses the event as a platform to promote his brand or product but without making the financial investment and the other obligations undertaken by a sponsor.

TRADING AS ...NO MORE

The Lumber City Franchise, as well as several other FASA members, have a franchisee base who are each individually registered as separate legal entities trading as Lumber City etc. In essence, this has severe ramifications going forward. We would appreciate comment and direction from FASA, assisting in the way forward in this matter.

  AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FRANCHISORS: THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT

The Consumer Protection Act ("the Act") will apply to franchise agreements and is likely to pose significant challenges to many weaker franchisors, including those which do not abide by best franchise practices or provide reasonable value to their franchisees. In terms of the Act, a "franchise agreement" means an agreement:
  • Where a franchisor, for consideration, grants to the franchisee a right to carry on business under a system or marketing plan, substantially determined or controlled by the franchisor or its associate;
  • The business will be substantially or materially associated with advertising schemes or programmes, or a trade mark or any combination thereof used or licensed by the franchisee or its associate; and
  • That governs the business relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee including the relationship between them with respect to the goods or services to be supplied to the franchisee by the franchisor, or by its associate.
