Dryject Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You may not develop or sell other products or services on Your own without Our prior written consent.
(g) In order to allow Us to establish and enforce standards of quality and uniformity for the distribution and sale of Our products and services, and in order to preserve incentive for other entities to become DryJect franchisees in the future, You shall not sell DryJect products and services other than on a retail basis to customers, and not for resale by the purchasers thereof, without Our prior written consent and without executing a separate agreement with Us for the right to conduct such sales, if We request the execution of such an agreement.
(h) We have the right to determine, approve and supervise the quality of services and products sold by You from the Franchised Business, and to take all action We deem necessary to maintain
the quality and standards of the services and products, the Franchised Business and Our System. You are required to purchase certain services, equipment and operating supplies, as are more particularly set forth in the Operations Manual, from Us or suppliers whose services, products and materials are approved, and not thereafter disapproved, by Us. We or Our affiliates may receive commissions on goods and services provided to franchisees from various suppliers. If You desire to purchase any services or products from suppliers that We have not previously approved, You or the supplier must submit a written request for such approval to Us. As a condition of Our approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, We may require that Our representatives be allowed to inspect the supplier's facilities and/or that a sample of its product be made available to Us or Our designee for testing. In such event You or the supplier may be charged a fee not to exceed the actual cost of such inspection and/or testing. Within thirty (30) days of delivery of the test results, if testing is conducted or the written request if testing is not conducted, We will issue a decision in writing. Such decision may be a determination that additional time is needed to complete the review. Any denial will state the reasons. In the event We do not provide You with a written decision, the request shall be deemed denied.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject FDD, franchisees face several restrictions regarding the Dryject system. Franchisees are not allowed to sell Dryject products and services for resale by purchasers without prior written consent from Dryject and without a separate agreement. This ensures that Dryject maintains control over the distribution and quality of its services.
Dryject franchisees are also restricted in their ability to develop or sell other products or services on their own without prior written consent from Dryject. This provision allows Dryject to maintain uniformity and standards across all franchise locations. Furthermore, franchisees are required to purchase certain services, equipment, and operating supplies from Dryject or approved suppliers, as detailed in the Operations Manual. This requirement helps maintain the quality and standards of the services and products offered under the Dryject brand.
Additionally, Dryject franchisees are limited in their advertising activities. They are generally prohibited from advertising outside their designated territory, unless they are participating in cooperative advertising with other franchisees or Dryject itself. Local advertising is typically limited to activities within the designated territory, such as direct mail, print and broadcast media, and networking events. These restrictions are in place to protect the brand's integrity and ensure consistent service quality across all locations, while also preventing market overlap and internal competition among franchisees.
