newsXpress does not believe in locking in members to long term contracts. This is why our members may leave at 30 days notice. We would rather newsagents stay with newsXpress because they want to and not because of an onerous contract. That we have grown five times our size in the four years since 2005 indicates we are doing something right.
We have seen situations where newsagents have been refused the right to leave a marketing / franchise group and have had to involve lawyers – with little success. No one wins from such a handcuff approach.
We prefer a friendlier and mutually supportive and trusting relationship. This is why newsXpress is committed to a 30 day notice period. It respects our member newsagents and keeps our mind focused on serving our members and not enforcing a contract.
