What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to authorize automatic withdrawals for all fees. Specifically, Dryject mandates that franchisees authorize their bank to accept automatic withdrawals through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). This ensures that all fees owed to Dryject are directly debited from the franchisee's bank account and deposited into Dryject's account when due.
To comply with this requirement, prospective Dryject franchisees must provide all necessary documentation to their bank, enabling the bank to honor these pre-authorized debits. Additionally, upon Dryject's request, franchisees may also be required to sign forms and complete procedures for payments via Visa or MasterCard. Franchisees must maintain sufficient credit on the specified credit card account to cover the charges.
Franchisees are responsible for any fees incurred by Dryject in processing these payments. Dryject will only submit charges for the correct Royalty Service Fees, National Marketing Fund Fees, and any other outstanding balances as required by the Franchise Agreement. This right extends for up to six months after the expiration, termination, or transfer of the franchise agreement.
This automatic withdrawal system ensures timely and consistent payment of fees, reducing the administrative burden for both the franchisee and Dryject. However, franchisees must carefully manage their bank accounts and credit card accounts to avoid overdraft fees or declined payments, as they will be responsible for any associated costs.
