What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject retains ownership of all domain names and URLs associated with the Dryject Internet Website. Specifically, Dryject owns all right, title, and interest in domain names that they designate, along with all uniform resource locators (URLs), future addresses, sub-addresses, software, and content used on the Dryject Internet Website. This also extends to all intellectual property rights related to these items.
As a Dryject franchisee, you are explicitly prohibited from establishing a website using domain names containing "DryJect" or variations thereof. Dryject maintains sole control over all Internet activity and website creation using these domain names. This restriction ensures brand consistency and uniformity across all online platforms associated with Dryject.
Dryject also has the final say regarding all information and functionality presented on the Dryject Internet Website and reserves the right to update or modify the website according to their determined schedule. Furthermore, Dryject requires administrator privileges to all of your software, electronic mail, social media, marketing platforms, digital marketing, and all e-commerce activities. This level of control allows Dryject to maintain brand standards and manage the online presence of the franchise system effectively.
This arrangement means that as a franchisee, you will not own or control the primary online presence of the Dryject brand. Instead, Dryject manages the website and online activities, while franchisees are expected to adhere to the brand's communication standards and guidelines. Franchisees should ensure they understand these restrictions and how they impact their ability to market their local franchise online.
