Preamble
This Code of Ethics (The Code), to which (FAD) The Emirates Association for Franchise Development’s members shall adhere, aims at establishing the framework for the implementation of best practices to the franchise relationships and activities of the FAD’s members.
The Code is a self-regulation on how FAD and its members will govern themselves and thus it is not intended to replace any legislation that may apply to the franchise business but to support full compliance with, and vigorous enforcement of, all applicable Laws and Regulations including but not limited to the Civil Code, Commercial Code, Copyrights, Trade Mark Law, and Taxation Law.
The Code is not intended to establish standards to be applied by third parties such as courts.
