What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject FDD, Dryject retains significant control over franchisee advertising and can disapprove it under certain conditions. Dryject may provide specific guidelines for advertising initiated by franchisees and reserves the right to disapprove advertising that, in its sole judgment, does not align with these guidelines. This ensures brand consistency and quality control across all advertising efforts.
Dryject also has the authority to require franchisees to cooperate and participate in special promotional events or campaigns sponsored by Dryject, other franchisees, or both. Furthermore, franchisees are prohibited from advertising outside their designated territory unless they receive specific written permission to the contrary. If a franchisee's designated territory lies within an Area of Dominant Influence (ADI) of media sources located outside of their territory, Dryject can require the franchisee to participate in cooperative advertising through that media source.
Moreover, Dryject can mandate that franchisees immediately discontinue any advertising that, in Dryject's sole opinion, is detrimental to the Dryject system, marks, Dryject itself, its affiliates, or other franchisees. Any digital or electronic content published by the franchisee must comply with Dryject's brand communication standards and is subject to Dryject's approval. These provisions collectively grant Dryject broad oversight and control over advertising activities to protect the brand's integrity and reputation.
