Are Dryject franchisees restricted from disclosing proprietary information about the Dryject system?

Dryject Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

Our franchise agreements have confidentiality clauses which prevent current and former franchisees from disclosing proprietary, confidential and trade secret information about our system. During the last three fiscal years we have signed another type of agreement (settlement, etc.) which contained a confidentiality clause with a current or former franchisee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject's franchise agreements contain confidentiality clauses that prevent both current and former franchisees from disclosing proprietary, confidential, and trade secret information about the Dryject system. This is a common practice in franchising to protect the franchisor's intellectual property and business methods.

This restriction means that as a Dryject franchisee, you will be legally bound to keep certain information about the Dryject system confidential. This includes not only the technical aspects of the Dryject process but also potentially business strategies, marketing plans, and other non-public information.

Dryject also states that during the last three fiscal years, they have signed other types of agreements (settlement, etc.) which contained a confidentiality clause with a current or former franchisee. This indicates that Dryject takes the protection of its confidential information seriously and is willing to enforce these clauses through legal agreements if necessary. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the confidentiality clauses in the franchise agreement to understand the scope of these restrictions and ensure they are comfortable with them.
