The misuse of integration, no representation, and no reliance clauses in the name of contract certainty

Article Abstract:

Stripping franchisees in advance, upon signing, of all causes of action such as breach of contract, fraud and unfair trade practices is the main objective of integration, no reliance and and no representation clauses in most franchise agreements. These claims should, however, be subject to trial rather than dismissal by summary judgment or other motions. Standard exceptions to the parol evidence rule permit such evidence at trial, and the result is essential to franchisees who have risked their capital on franchises.
