Does the Dryject franchise agreement authorize Dryject and its affiliates to initiate debit entries to my accounts for payments?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject and its affiliates are authorized to initiate debit entries to a franchisee's accounts for payments. Specifically, Dryject is permitted to debit a franchisee's checking, savings, or other accounts for the payment of Royalty Service Fees, Marketing Fund Fees, and any other amounts due under the Franchise Agreement or otherwise.

To facilitate this process, a Dryject franchisee must complete and sign the Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement, which is attached to the Franchise Agreement as Addendum F. The franchisee is also required to comply with Dryject's procedures and instructions related to the direct debit process and must sign all necessary documents or take any required actions to enable this authorization.

This authorization allows Dryject to directly withdraw funds from the franchisee's account for various fees and payments, ensuring timely and consistent payment. While this provides convenience, prospective franchisees should carefully review the Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and understand the procedures involved. Franchisees should also ensure they maintain sufficient funds in their designated accounts to avoid any potential issues or penalties related to failed debit entries.
