As a Franchise Attorney I believe the answer depends on how the parties agreed on the nature of the deposit. For example, is the deposit identified as being nonrefundable or refundable? If refundable, is it in whole or in part? Consult with a good copyright or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
