Extra words in this statement?

"For the sole purpose of the operation of the Business from
the Premises, the Franchisor grants the Franchisee for the Initial
Term of the Contract."

I don't understand why that "from the premises" is really necessary, does it actually imply that the franchisor is going to remotely control the business from THEIR premises(their headquarter, office, etc.), or how else is the "from the premises" even necessary?

Thanks!

This is difficult to say for two reasons -- 1) You don't say what jurisdiction the Business is operating in, and 2) Your statement doesn't say what the Franchisor grants the Franchisee. One possible meaning is that the Franchisor is going to grant the Franchisee some concessions but only for the operation of the Business and only when the Business is operated from the Premises. In other words, the Franchisor wants to restrict the Franchisee's operations to the agreed upon premises.

Contract language is a special dialect, and like all legal language, it's crucial to know which courts will be interpreting it.

I capitalized the "B" in "Business" because it's capitalized in your text. I suspect what that means is that the word "Business" is defined elsewhere in the contract to refer to the particular business that's the subject of the contract.

What do you mean what courts will be interpreting it?
They don't necessarily have to go to court to negotiate a contract or do they?
Just curious, and thanks again, deadrat!

No, I'm being overly cautious here, and I've just ended up mystifying you. Sorry. The parties to a contract in the English-speaking world don't have to go to court to negotiate that contract, but their lawyers will insist on using the local legal dialect to draft that contract.

Legal English has its own vocabulary that overlaps vernacular English, but with many different meanings. My f
