What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, a termination by the franchisee without proper cause occurs if the franchisee terminates the agreement without meeting specific requirements. These requirements involve Dryject materially breaching the agreement and failing to correct the breach within thirty days after receiving written notice.
However, if the breach is of a nature that it cannot be reasonably fixed within thirty days, and Dryject is making good faith efforts to correct the breach, Dryject is granted an additional reasonable period to cure the breach. If the franchisee terminates the agreement without adhering to these conditions or for any reason other than Dryject's uncured material breach, it is considered a termination without cause by the franchisee.
This means that a Dryject franchisee cannot simply terminate the agreement at will. They must have a legitimate reason, such as a material breach by Dryject, and they must follow the prescribed notification and cure period procedures. Failure to do so will result in the termination being classified as 'without cause,' which could have legal and financial ramifications for the franchisee, as outlined elsewhere in the agreement.
