What This Means (2025 FDD)

The 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state that the franchisee's indemnification extends to the franchisor's officers. However, it does state that the franchisee is solely responsible for all costs and expenses related to the franchisee's performance or nonperformance.

Without specific mention of officers, it is unclear whether this responsibility extends to protecting the franchisor's officers from liabilities arising from the franchisee's actions. Indemnification clauses in franchise agreements typically outline the circumstances under which a franchisee must protect the franchisor from losses or liabilities.

A prospective Dryject franchisee should seek clarification from Dryject regarding the scope of the indemnification clause. Specifically, they should ask whether the indemnification extends to the franchisor's officers, directors, employees, and agents, and under what specific circumstances the franchisee would be required to provide indemnification.
