What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject has the right to modify the System Standards. The FDD states that franchisees alone are responsible for operating the franchised business in full compliance with all System Standards, as modified from time to time. System Standards are defined as the mandatory specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules that Dryject periodically prescribes for the development and operation of Dryject franchised businesses. All references to System Standards will include any modifications, deletions, and/or additions to the System Standards which are authorized by the Agreement or the Operations Manual.
Dryject retains the right to change or modify its System and business in any manner not expressly prohibited by the agreement. This includes adopting new or modified trade names, trademarks, service marks, copyrighted materials, computer programs, systems, types or brands of products or services, equipment requirements, or new techniques. Franchisees must accept, use, and display any such changes in Dryject's System. Any new or different requirements imposed will not unreasonably increase the franchisee's obligations or place an excessive economic burden on their operations, or otherwise alter their status or rights under the Agreement.
These modifications ensure that Dryject can adapt to market changes, technological advancements, and evolving consumer preferences. While franchisees must comply with these changes, Dryject is obligated to ensure that these modifications do not excessively burden franchisees or alter their fundamental rights. This allows Dryject to maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations while also retaining the flexibility to innovate and improve the system. Franchisees should stay informed about any updates to the Operations Manual and System Standards to ensure compliance and maintain the integrity of the Dryject brand.
