55. 901000In view of the fact that a franchise contract is a contract of permanent duration, characterized by a close personal cooperation with high commercial relevance particularly for the franchisee, the parties to a franchise contract must (strictly) honor the principle of good faith (Giesler/Nauschütt, op. cit., p. 508). For this reason, a franchisor has an obligation to protect the interests of the franchisee and is subject to pre-contractual disclosure obligations which go beyond the obligations of a mere licensor ».
