What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any party to the agreement may initiate a legal action to compel arbitration of a dispute. This action can be brought in a court with jurisdiction in the state and judicial district where Dryject maintains its principal place of business.
Additionally, the party can seek provisional remedies, such as temporary or injunctive relief, related to the dispute without needing to provide a bond or security. However, it is important to note that the dispute must ultimately be resolved through binding arbitration conducted according to the terms and conditions of the Dryject agreement.
Currently, Dryject's principal place of business is in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, so the appropriate venue for compelling arbitration would likely be in Pennsylvania. This clause ensures that disputes are resolved through arbitration while allowing parties to seek immediate relief from a court if necessary, maintaining the integrity of the arbitration process as the primary means of resolution.
