What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chem Dry is not responsible for the content, advertising, products, or other materials available on websites or resources linked from its service. Chem Dry also states it is not liable for any damage or loss caused by the use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available through these linked sites.
This means that as a Chem Dry franchisee, you access external links at your own risk. Chem Dry does not endorse or take responsibility for what these external sites offer. This is a common practice in franchising and online services, as franchisors typically cannot control the content of third-party websites.
As a prospective franchisee, it's important to understand that while Chem Dry may provide links to resources, you should independently verify the quality and reliability of any information, products, or services offered on those external sites. This protects both you and Chem Dry from potential liabilities arising from third-party content.
