What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Conference Registration Fee is not refundable. Dryject may conduct a national or regional conference once a year, and franchisees are required to attend. Dryject has the right to charge a reasonable Conference Registration Fee, which is currently up to $500.00. This fee can be invoiced and paid via Electronic Funds Transfer as part of the standard monthly billing, up to one year in advance.
Even if a Dryject franchisee does not attend the conference, the Conference Registration Fee will still be collected. However, Dryject states that it will try to make available all of the substantive materials that are presented at the Conference through the Internet or otherwise.
This means that as a Dryject franchisee, you are obligated to pay the conference registration fee, up to $500, regardless of whether you attend the conference. It is important to factor this non-refundable cost into your budget when evaluating the Dryject franchise opportunity.
