Document:
Tennessee does not have a dedicated franchise relationship act; however, Tennessee’s "Little FTC Act" explicitly covers franchises, distributorships, and business opportunities. (Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, Chapter 18, Sections 47-18-101 through 47-18-117.) This is because the definition of "consumer" under the TFTCA includes any person who purchases or is offered for sale "a franchise or distributorship agreement or any similar type of business opportunity."
The TFTCA proscribes passing off goods or services as those of another, causing confusion as to affiliation or connection with another, misrepresenting the grade or quality of goods or services, selling a right to participate in a pyramid distributorship, and employing a chain referral sales plan in which a purchaser receives compensation for furnishing names of other prospective buyers when compensation is contingent upon a subsequent event.
The TFTCA also provides damages, declaratory and injunctive relief for any person suffering an ascertainable loss of money or property . Treble damages are available for willful or knowing violations.
