What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Rider to the franchise agreement takes precedence over any conflicting provisions in the main agreement. Specifically, the Rider is considered an integral part of the agreement, but if any terms within the Rider are inconsistent with or contradict the original agreement, the terms of the Rider will supersede those conflicting terms. Any terms that are not defined within the Rider itself will have the same meanings as defined in the original Franchise Agreement.
This means that a Dryject franchisee should pay close attention to the Rider and understand how it modifies the original franchise agreement. The Rider could change important aspects of the agreement, and the franchisee needs to be aware of these changes to ensure compliance and understand their rights and obligations.
For example, the Minnesota Rider amends several sections of the Dryject franchise agreement, including those related to termination, waivers, and injunctive relief. Similarly, the Washington Rider addresses conflict of laws, franchisee bill of rights, and limitations on certain legal actions. Franchisees operating in these states should carefully review these Riders to understand how they modify the standard franchise agreement and what protections are afforded to them under state law.
