As a result, You acknowledge and agree that the occurrence of any of the following events, each or any of which shall be considered a Material Breach default of this Agreement, constitutes reasonable grounds for termination of this Franchise Agreement by Us; provided, however that You shall be given the opportunity, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of such Material Breach, to cure the default by promptly providing proof of cure to Us.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the breach is curable but is of a nature which cannot reasonably be cured within such fifteen (15) day period and You have commenced and are continuing to make good faith efforts to cure the breach, You shall be given an additional reasonable period of time to cure the default, and this Agreement shall not terminate.
If any such default is not cured within the time as specified by Us, this Agreement shall terminate effective immediately without further notice to You.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee typically has 15 days after receiving written notice of a material breach to cure the default. However, this is subject to applicable state law, which may provide for a different cure period.
If the breach is curable but cannot reasonably be cured within 15 days, and the franchisee has started and continues to make good faith efforts to cure the breach, Dryject will grant an additional reasonable period to cure the default. If the franchisee fails to cure the default within the specified time, the Franchise Agreement will terminate immediately without further notice.
It is important to note that in certain states, such as Wisconsin and Minnesota, specific laws may supersede the terms outlined in the franchise agreement regarding termination and cure periods. For example, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law generally grants a franchisee 90 days prior written notice of termination and 60 days within which to remedy any claimed deficiencies. Similarly, Minnesota law requires that franchisees be given 90 days' notice of termination (with 60 days to cure) in most cases.
