Disclaimer Notice and Awards Terms
Buying or investing in a franchise is a serious undertaking. Prospective franchisees should take sufficient time to evaluate the opportunity and obtain independent advice from a lawyer, accountant and franchise consultant experienced in franchising before making any commitment.
Franchise India Brands Pvt Ltd — www.franchiseindia.in relies on the organisations exhibiting at the show for the accuracy of information concerning their businesses, products, services and franchise opportunities. FIBL, along with the show sponsors and supporters, accepts no liability for the accuracy, completeness or reliability of information shared during or after the show.
It is the responsibility of each attendee or prospective franchisee to independently verify all information and satisfy themselves regarding the accuracy, suitability and reliability of any opportunity presented.
The organisations exhibiting at the show may be members, partners or sponsors of the show. FIBL is not an agent of these organisations. Their membership, partnership or sponsorship does not imply that FIBL endorses them or any business opportunity, product or service they offer.

The success of a franchise depends on several factors, including the franchisee’s capabilities, investment, location, market conditions, management and adherence to the franchisor’s systems. Although FIBL may seek to review the initial compliance of its members with the FIBL Code of Practice, FIBL makes no representation or warranty that any particular member is fully compliant with the Code of Practice or that selecting a franchise operated by any member will result in business success.
