According to increase of Franchise Agreements, troubles related to those agreements and trading acts occur frequently. As Franchise system had come from Western countries, franchise agreement troubles tend to international disputes. In fact, those parties entered into a franchise agreement prefer arbitration to lawsuit as a dispute resolution system because arbitration is easy to risk-management for cost and time. The essential conditions for Franchise agreements are as follows ; for Franchise to grant Intellectual Properties to Franchisee, to give an impression of the same company between Franchise and Franchisee, to control and support Franchisee, for Franchisee to be an independent merchant, and to pay Franchiser license fee. Because Franchise Agreement is also based on liberty of contract, Franchise and Franchisee could enter into any kind of agreement. However, Franchiser can make an unfair agreement abusing a position of advantage. This paper check those unfair terms and conditions in Franchise agreement. Once they enter into an agreement, they should fulfil their contract. In case of trouble on performing the contract, both of them have to discuss to solve that trouble faithfully. But, they enter into either lawsuit or arbitration in accordance with agreement when they can't reach a decision in general. Specially, which is the most popular dispute resolution hands in case of Intellectual Property License agreement. General international Franchise Agreements have arbitration terms, but there is other case such as separate Arbitration Agreement if the want, which is separate from Franchise License agreement, so even though Franchise License agreement is invalidated, Arbitration agreement continues to exist, This paper reviews Franchise system and the terms of arbitration in Franchise agreement.

본 연구는 창업희망자들이 프랜차이즈 계약 체결 시 우수한 프랜차이즈 본부를 선별하여 판단할 수 있는 자료로 활용하도록 주안점을 두었다. 프랜차이즈 계약과 관련하여 창업자들이 가장 먼저 우려하는 부분은 '과연 내가 선택하는 브랜드가 안전하고, 믿을 만한 것인가' 하는 것이다. 이에 프랜차이즈 본부의 전반적인 현황을 제시하고 있는 정보공개서 분석과 300개 프랜차이즈 가맹점주를 표본으로 조사하였다. 선행연구를 통해 프랜차이즈계약의 결정요인이 도출되었으며, SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 프랜차이즈 계약결정요인이 성별, 업태별, 점포규모별, 소득 간에 차이가 있는지가 분석되었다. 분석 결과, 프랜차이즈 계약 시 가장 중요하게 보는 항목은 영업관리 항목이며, 성별, 점포규모, 소득은 프랜차이즈 계약결정요인에서 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 업태에 따라서는 비용과 교육관리 항목에서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 프랜차이즈 본부가 제공하는 정보제공의 수준을 창업자가 판단하여, 프랜차이즈 계약 시 귀중한 자료로 활용하여 성공창업에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 프랜차이즈 사업자간의 협력적 관계를 더욱 확고히 하고, 이를 통해 중장기적인 비전 제시을 위한 지침이 될 수 있을 것이다. 마지막으로, 본 연구의 결과는 유망하고 우수한 프랜차이즈 본부의 육성과 가맹 사업거래의 공정화에 관한 법률, 가맹사업 진흥에 관한 법률의 제도적 미비점을 보완, 프랜차이즈 분야를 더욱 증진시킬 수 있는 밑거름이 될 것으로 보인다.

A franchise business is a business in which the owners, or "franchisors," sell the rights to their business logo, name, and model to third party retail outlets, owned by independent, third party operators, called "franchisees." There are a number of features in franchising or terms in franchise agreements that may lead to disputes between franchisors and franchisees. These disputes may arise because of underlying risks in the franchise relationship, franchise agreement, or conduct of the parties. In this case, ADR is an effective way to resolve disputes in a quicker and often less costly way than having to go to court. If an agreement cannot be reached through mediation, then arbitration becomes the next step to resolving the differences. Whereas mediation is non-binding and focused on facilitating the parties to find a resolution that is acceptable to both, arbitration is binding and may result in a decision that is not acceptable to one of the parties. These situations can be resolved through experienced arbitration as arbitration allows franchisees to settle matters promptly and outside of the public eye. In addition, franchise dispute arbitration is usually less costly than going to traditional court. Considering all of these, reaching an agreement will also have typical clauses that address the issue of dispute resolution. It is again a more efficient process than going through the legal process and courts and is often less costly. By going through arbitration, the parties agree to give up their rights to pursue the dispute in the courts. However, there is a problem that the arbitration prior to the agreement and under the terms would be contrary to the restriction of jurisdiction under the "ACT ON THE REGULATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS" in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 예비가맹사업자가 창업을 준비할 때 프랜차이즈가 성공할 수 있는 가맹본부를 선별할 수 있는 기준을 살펴보고, 프랜차이즈 사업의 위험요소 감소와 성공적인 방향을 제시하는데 의의가 있다. 특히 공정거래위원회에서 제시하고 있는 정보공개서 분석을 중심으로 도출된 2922 표본 중 2개년도, 가맹점 10개 이상 등의 조건과 결측치를 제외한 511개의 표본을 대상으로 분석하였다(2012년 8월 20일 기준). 선행연구를 통한 프랜차이즈 특성을 도출하였고, SPSS 18.1을 통해 빈도분석과 회귀분석을 실시하여 특성분석과 가맹점 사업성과 간의 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 첫째, 프랜차이즈 본부 특성은 전반적으로 소상공인이나 중소기업 규모(총점포 수, 재무재표 등)로 운영되고 있으며, 대부분 업종이 기타 외식에 집중되어 있었다. 특히 프랜차이즈의 영업지역의 보호라는 관점에서 비보호를 대부분 채택하고 있다. 둘째, 프랜차이즈 특성과 성과간의 관계에서 연평균매출액과 당기순이익에서는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 성장률에 해당되는 가맹점증가율 지표에는 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 도출되었다. 마지막으로 프랜차이즈 특성들과 성과간의 차이분석에서는 업종구분을 제외한 대부분의 특성들이 연평균매출액과 연평균당기순이익에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 가맹점증가율에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 통해 지속가능한 성장이 될 수 있는 방안이 마련해야 하며, 프랜차이즈의 권익보호를 위한 발판을 마련할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 공시된 데이터를 바탕으로 관계에 관한 연구를 해보았다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The franchise business in Korea, having a relatively short history compared to those of the advanced countries, disclosed many problems between franchisors and franchisees due to a rapid growth in number for the short period of time. Having recognized these problems, the Korean government, responding to social demands, established "The Fair Trade Practices Law for Franchise Business" to restrict unfair trade practices and to develop a healthier franchise business practice in general. In this study, we closely examined how the franchisees' understanding of the related laws would influence the franchisees' countermoves and satisfaction and the franchisor's reactions from the franchisees' standpoints. In conclusion, the franchisees show higher satisfaction in heteronomous changes achieved by the mutual agreement with the franchisors rather than in autonomous changes achieved by their active pursuits, as seen from the interrelation of the franchisors' reactions and the appropriateness of franchise agreements.

Ever since franchising emerged in the industry of distribution, it has been growing explosively in the U.S.A. and all other countries as well. It is a method of expanding a business by licensing independent businessman to sell the franchiser's products and/or services or to follow a format and trade style created by the franchiser using the franchiser's trade marks and trade names. Franchising is a form of business that touches upon many different areas of law including, but not limited to, general contract law, general principles of commercial law, law of intellectual property, competition law, fair trade practices law and other industry specific laws e.g., the Fair Practices in Franchising Act in Korea. Arbitration is a long established, legally recognized procedure for submitting disputes to an outside person(s), mutually selected by the parties, for a final and binding decision. Despite its merits as an alternative dispute resolution, it has been criticized, on the other hand, particularly by franchisees' attorneys on the ground that even though it is required to protect the franchisees against the enforcement of pre-dispute arbitration agreements because of the franchisees' paucity of bargaining power vis-a-vis the franchiser, arbitration cannot afford it. Until recently, however, little has been written about the legal issues pertaining to franchise agreement and arbitration clause contained therein in Korea. This treatise reviews the cases and arguments in relation to the subject especially of the U.S.A., which have been accumulated for decades. The issues addressed herein are the pre-emption by the FAA, the disputes to be arbitrated, the selection and qualification of arbitrators, the place of arbitration hearings and the evidentiary rules applicable, the expenses of arbitration, theory of fiduciary duty and the like, all of which are relevant to franchise agreement.

In the management activities of head office in supporting franchisees in domestic food-service enterprises, the raw material supply plays a positive role to support franchisees' operation activity and it comes into conflict with them at the same time. In this paper, I have tried to find out the relationship between raw material supplying and the satisfaction of the franchisees by experimental research in order to research the route of head office's raw material supplying. To sum up the results, it was found out there is no meaningful relationship between the raw material supplying and the franchisees satisfaction (intention to renew the agreement), It indicates it would be more effective for the franchisees to buy the raw materials from the suppliers developed by the franchisees except some key materials in order to reduce the conflicts with the franchisees.
