What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of conflicting laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, chapter 19.100 RCW, will prevail. This applies to Dryject franchisees.
This means that if there is a disagreement between different legal statutes, the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act will take precedence. This is particularly relevant for franchisees operating in Washington or those whose franchise agreements are governed by Washington law. The Act covers various aspects of the franchise relationship, including termination and renewal, and aims to protect franchisees from unfair practices.
Prospective Dryject franchisees should be aware of this clause, especially if they are located in or plan to operate in Washington. It is important to understand the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act and how it may affect their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to ensure they fully understand their rights and obligations under both the franchise agreement and the applicable state laws.
