4. A Franchise Agreement shall set forth its term.
5. No privilege or exemption shall be inferred from the granting of any Franchise unless it is specifically mentioned in this chapter or in the Franchise Agreement.
6. The granting of a Franchise pursuant to this chapter shall not impart to the Franchisee any vested ownership right or ownership interest in any Right-of-Way or City property, notwithstanding the right to use City Rights-of-Way or City property to provide its Ambulance service.
