If Dryject authorizes additional trademarks after the agreement date, do the agreement's provisions regarding Marks apply to them?

According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, all provisions within the franchise agreement pertaining to Dryject's marks apply to any additional trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, trade symbols, signs, slogans, associated logos, designs, emblems, e-marks, copyrights, and commercial symbols that Dryject authorizes for the franchisee's use after the agreement's effective date. This ensures that all brand identifiers, whether existing at the start of the agreement or introduced later, are subject to the same terms and conditions.

This clause protects Dryject's brand identity and ensures consistent application of its trademarks across all franchise locations. For a franchisee, this means that any new marks they are authorized to use will be governed by the same rules as the original marks, including usage guidelines, display requirements, and quality standards. It also reinforces the franchisee's obligation to protect Dryject's intellectual property and to avoid any unauthorized use of the marks.

The franchisee should pay close attention to any communications from Dryject regarding new authorized marks, as these communications will likely include specific instructions on how to use the new marks in compliance with the franchise agreement. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in a breach of contract and potential legal action. Franchisees should also ensure they understand the implications of using these marks in their advertising and marketing materials.
