What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchisee's Designated Territory is described in Addendum A to the Franchise Agreement. This addendum is specifically entitled "Franchisee's Designated Territory." The franchise agreement grants the franchisee the right to operate a DryJect franchise within this designated area, as detailed in Section 4 of the agreement.
Dryject will not grant others the right to operate a DryJect business within the franchisee's Designated Territory, although Dryject does reserve the right to sell to "Reserved Accounts" which are customers operating multiple facilities, some of which may be located within the franchisee's territory. If the franchisee does not agree to provide a Reserved Account with goods or services at a discounted rate, Dryject or another franchisee may supply the goods or services, without the original franchisee receiving compensation.
The Dryject franchise agreement also specifies that Dryject reserves the right to use and franchise other trade names and trademarks within the franchisee's Designated Territory, as long as they are not designated as Licensed Rights in the future. The franchisee is not automatically granted rights to acquire additional franchises within their Designated Territory or any adjacent territories. Furthermore, Dryject retains the right to develop additional distribution methods for trademarked merchandise, excluding DryJect turf aeration services, within the franchisee's Designated Territory.
The agreement states that Dryject cannot alter the franchisee's Designated Territory as defined in the agreement and Addendum A, as long as the franchisee complies with all terms and conditions. The franchisee must obtain prior written approval from Dryject to conduct business or perform services outside their Designated Territory. Violation of this can result in forfeiting gross revenues earned outside the territory to the franchisee whose territory the business was conducted in. However, the franchisee may accept business from referrals or unsolicited inquiries from customers outside their Designated Territory if that business is not located in another franchise owner's designated territory.
