What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any customer lists related to the franchised business are owned by Dryject and considered confidential. Upon demand, a franchisee must promptly provide Dryject with a comprehensive list of current and former customers. This list must include the customer's name, telephone number, complete mailing address, frequency of service, last date serviced, and the price of service.
Dryject retains ownership of all customer lists and relationships, as well as the goodwill generated from the franchisee's operation. This means that Dryject ultimately controls the customer data and relationships established during the franchise term.
Following the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, franchisees are prohibited from offering similar services or products to any customers or prospective customers of the Dryject business. Doing so would be considered a violation of Dryject's rights to the customer lists, relationships, and goodwill. Dryject is entitled to seek injunctive relief and recover damages equal to the profits the franchisee received from actions violating Dryject's rights.
