Can I exit a franchise early if the franchisor promised profits verbally but it's not in the agreement?

Question

I took a food franchise in India and the sales are far below what the franchisor’s team assured me during meetings. The franchise agreement doesn’t mention any guaranteed revenue, but I have emails and messages about expected numbers. Can I terminate and recover my fees, or will I face penalties?

Taneja Law Office · Accepted Answer

Of course, you can. Whether there will be penalties or not can be ascertained by going through the Franchise Agreement. Unless this office has access to the Agreement, it will not help rendering a legal opinion on the question.
