What is the ruling on purchasing a franchise from companies selling electronic services (whitelabel) in the field of marketing and software, which are divided into two types: the first provides training for the use of their human resources for a fee, and the second provides an online store and a monthly free service credit for a monthly amount, with the possibility of purchasing services at a reduced price and selling them at a price determined by the buyer?

It is permissible to sell electronic services and software, and to obtain a franchise or an exclusive agency right to sell company services. The condition of exclusivity in commercial agencies is permissible and necessitates the protection of both parties' rights; violating it is considered unfair competition.
There is no objection to purchasing a service at a reduced price and selling it at a higher price. Similarly, it is permissible to obtain a franchise right in exchange for participating in a training program, whether it is free or for a fee.
