What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination of the franchise agreement, a franchisee is permitted to retain specific documents. These include the franchisee's copy of the franchise agreement itself, any correspondence that has passed between the franchisee and Dryject, and any other documents that the franchisee reasonably needs to comply with applicable laws.
This provision ensures that franchisees have access to essential records for their own reference and legal compliance, even after the franchise relationship ends. It is a fairly standard practice in franchising to allow franchisees to keep these types of documents.
However, franchisees must cease representing themselves as a Dryject franchisee and remove or cover any branding or advertising that identifies them with Dryject. They must also cancel any assumed names related to the Dryject brand and assign any relevant telephone numbers, listings, social media accounts, and internet numbers to Dryject. This ensures a clean break and prevents confusion in the marketplace after the franchise terminates.
