The NFC is applicable only, if such has been agreed.<\/p>\n<p>The NFC was drafted in the period 2015-2016 by a committee of representatives of franchisors and franchisees. The purpose of the NFC was to create a more level playing field within the franchise sector. However, the code of conduct was received critically by the franchise sector and was hardly applied in practice.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, an attempt was made to enshrine the NFC in law. After many reactions had been received from the sector, in which franchisees were mainly positive and franchisors were mainly critical, it was decided to adopt a different course. The intention to enshrine the NFC in law was replaced by the intention to introduce specific legislation on franchising.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that in practice the NFC has not been applied a great deal and has meanwhile been superseded by formal legislation, the provisions and accompanying explanations may still be interesting.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the Dutch Franchise Code via the button.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-title\">Downloads<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-all-buttons-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-single-button\" href=\"https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/teksteuropeseerecodefranchise-nl.pdf\" download>Dutch Franchise Code<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-franchise-laws-and-regulations-content-container\">\n                            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"franchise-lxa-laws-and-regulations-image-content-container right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-image-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/LXA-Advocaten-Wet-en-regelgeving-Alternatieve-franchisecode.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/LXA-Advocaten-Wet-en-regelgeving-Alternatieve-franchisecode.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/LXA-Advocaten-Wet-en-regelgeving-Alternatieve-franchisecode-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/LXA-Advocaten-Wet-en-regelgeving-Alternatieve-franchisecode-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/LXA-Advocaten-Wet-en-regelgeving-Alternatieve-franchisecode-768x505.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-content-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"franchise-lxa-laws-and-regulations-title\">Alternative Franchise Code<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"franchise-lxa-laws-and-regulations-content\"><p>The Association for Distribution, Franchise and Agency Law (the &#8220;Association DFA&#8221;) has approximately 165 members, consisting of legal advisers, company lawyers and attorneys-at-law, who are among other things specialised in franchising.<\/p>\n<p>The Association DFA has witnessed the industry struggling with the consultation version of the Dutch Franchise Code (&#8220;NFC&#8221;). It observes that there is insufficient support among the franchisors for this present NFC. Obviously, in order for a franchise code of conduct to be successful, it is essential that it is supported by all those concerned. The Association DFA furthermore takes the view that the present NFC is too extensive, unbalanced and that it interferes too much with the parties\u2019 contractual freedom. Within that context the DFA Association has decided, since one of its objectives under the articles of association is to promote the quality of legal practice in the field of, inter alia, franchising in a national and international context, to ask a delegation of its members to develop an alternative franchise code, which meets the aforementioned objections.<\/p>\n<p>Download the Alternative Franchise Code below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-title\">Downloads<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-all-buttons-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"page-lxa-franchise-laws-and-regulations-download-buttons-single-button\" href=\"https:\/\/allesoverfranchise.lxa.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dfagedragscodefranchise19november2015.pdf\" download>Alternatieve Franchisecode<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    \n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-contactform-content-container\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 col-xxl-12\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-lxa-franchise-contactform-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-6 col-xl-6 col-xxl-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"page-lxa-franchise-contactform-title\">Do you have a question?
