What are the arbitrator's qualifications for a Dryject arbitration?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the arbitrator selected for arbitration proceedings must meet specific qualifications. The arbitrator will be a single individual selected in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Rules. This individual must have been actively engaged in the practice of law for a minimum of ten years. Furthermore, the arbitrator must possess experience in franchise law.

This requirement ensures that the arbitrator has a solid legal background and specific knowledge of the complexities of franchise law. This is important for a fair and informed resolution of any disputes that may arise between Dryject and its franchisees. The arbitrator's legal experience and understanding of franchise law are intended to provide a level of expertise that benefits both parties in the arbitration process.

Prior to the commencement of any hearings, the arbitrator is required to provide an oath of undertaking of impartiality. This oath reinforces the arbitrator's commitment to fairness and objectivity throughout the arbitration proceedings. The arbitration will be conducted in the city and state where Dryject maintains its principal place of business, or if there is no AAA office in that city, at the location of the AAA office nearest to Dryject's principal place of business, which is currently Hatboro, Pennsylvania.
