SHARPNACK, Chief Judge

This case comes to us on interlocutory appeal. Best Distributing Company, Inc. (“Best”) appeals the trial court’s grant of partial summary judgment in favor of Seyfert Foods, Inc. (“Seyfert”). Best raises four issues which we restate as:

1) whether Best’s purchase, maintenance, and replacement of display equipment or its rental of a warehouse constitute a franchise fee as that term is used in Ind.Code § 23-2-2.5-1;

2) whether Seyfert and Best had a fiduciary relationship such that a duty of good faith and fair dealing applies to the termination of their relationship;
