In the Dryject franchise agreement, does the neuter gender also include the masculine and feminine genders?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement specifies that the neuter gender includes both the masculine and feminine genders, provided the context requires or permits such interpretation. This also applies to singular and plural forms, where one can be interpreted as the other if the situation warrants it. This is a standard clause in legal agreements to ensure that the terms apply correctly regardless of gender or number.

For a Dryject franchisee, this means that any references in the franchise agreement that use the neuter gender (e.g., "its") can also refer to masculine or feminine individuals or entities if the context suggests that is the correct interpretation. Similarly, if a clause refers to a single franchisee, it can also apply to multiple franchisees acting together, and vice versa.

This clause aims to prevent ambiguity and ensure that the agreement is interpreted in a way that reflects the intentions of both Dryject and the franchisee, regardless of the specific wording used in each section. Franchisees should be aware of this clause and how it might affect their rights and obligations under the agreement.
