What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Dryject materially breaches the agreement, the franchisee must provide written notice. Dryject then has thirty (30) days to cure the breach. If the breach cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days but Dryject has commenced and continues to make good faith efforts to cure the breach, Dryject is granted an additional reasonable period to complete the cure.
However, if the franchisee terminates the agreement without providing the required notice and cure period, or for any reason other than Dryject's material breach and failure to cure within the allotted time, it will be considered a termination by the franchisee without cause. This could have significant financial and legal ramifications for the franchisee.
This cure period is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as it provides an opportunity for both parties to resolve disputes and maintain the franchise relationship. It is important for a prospective Dryject franchisee to understand the specific conditions under which they can terminate the agreement and the potential consequences of not following the proper procedures.
