According to the 2025 Dryject FDD, the Washington addendum does apply if the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington. The addendum is an integral part of the franchise agreement and modifies the Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement, and all related agreements.
The Washington addendum applies if any of the following conditions are met: the offer to sell a franchise is accepted in Washington, the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington, or the franchised business that is the subject of the sale is to be located or operated, wholly or partly, in Washington.
This means that if a prospective Dryject franchisee lives in Washington, they will be subject to the specific legal considerations and modifications outlined in the Washington addendum, regardless of where the franchise is offered or operated. Franchisees should carefully review the addendum to understand their rights and obligations under Washington law.
