Argentina on Franchising

The Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina (Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación or CCCN) imperatively determines as a general principle that the minimum term of the franchise agreement must be four years.

Under Argentine Law, franchise agreements are governed by the Civil and Commercial Code of the Nation (Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación, or CCCN by its Spanish acronym).

According to Article 1,517 of the CCCN, franchises are exclusive for both parties, unless the parties stipulate otherwise limiting or excluding exclusivity.
