Dryject Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Because complete uniformity under varying conditions may be impossible or impractical, We reserve the right to vary the standards of eligibility, including financial terms and conditions, for any franchisee, including You, based upon the peculiarities of a particular territory, including density of population, business potential, population of trade area, existing business practices, or any other conditions which We determine to have, or potentially have, a significant effect on the successful operation of such franchisee's business. Variations from standard specifications and practices granted to other franchisees shall not under any circumstances be cause to require Us to grant to You a like or similar variation hereunder, either now or in the future.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject reserves the right to vary standards of eligibility, including financial terms, for any franchisee. These variations are based on the specific characteristics of a territory, such as population density, business potential, trade area population, existing business practices, or other conditions that could significantly affect the franchisee's business.
However, the FDD explicitly states that if Dryject grants variations from standard specifications and practices to other franchisees, this does not give a new franchisee the right to demand a similar variation. This means that Dryject can offer different terms or conditions to different franchisees based on their individual circumstances, without being obligated to extend those same terms to all franchisees.
This policy provides Dryject with flexibility in adapting to different market conditions and franchisee needs. However, it also means that a prospective franchisee cannot assume they will receive the same benefits or concessions as other franchisees. It is important for potential franchisees to understand that the terms of their franchise agreement may differ from those of other franchisees, and they should carefully evaluate the specific terms offered to them.
