What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a franchisee submits content using Chem Dry's online services, they provide a warranty regarding the content's legality and rights. Specifically, the franchisee warrants that they are authorized to submit the content to CDI.
Additionally, the franchisee warrants that Chem Dry's and its vendors' use of the submitted content will not infringe upon or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party. Nor will it otherwise violate the rights of any third party.
This means that franchisees must ensure they have all necessary permissions and rights to use and share any data, files, software, text, or other content they upload or transmit through Chem Dry's services. Failure to do so could expose the franchisee to legal liability if the content infringes on someone else's rights. This is a standard requirement in franchise agreements where franchisees use the franchisor's systems and services to manage their business and interact with customers.
