What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject will not grant others the right to operate a Dryject business within a franchisee's designated territory, nor does Dryject reserve that right to itself, except as specified in the agreement. Dryject does, however, reserve the right to establish policies pertaining to the sale of products and services at discounted rates to customers operating multiple facilities, some of which may be located within a franchisee's designated territory. These customers are referred to as "Reserved Accounts."
If a Dryject franchisee does not agree to provide a Reserved Account with the contracted goods or services for a facility operated within their designated territory at the discounted rate, or is unable to provide the required goods or services within the territory, Dryject, its affiliates, or another franchisee may supply the goods or services. In this case, the original franchisee will not be entitled to receive any fee or other compensation associated with the transaction.
Dryject also reserves the right to use and franchise within a franchisee's designated territory any other trade names and trademarks that Dryject might develop and not designate as Licensed Rights in the future, for use with similar or different franchise systems. A Dryject franchisee is granted no automatic rights to acquire additional franchises within their designated territory, or within any contiguous territories. Dryject also specifically reserves the right to develop, grant, license or use additional distribution methods for the sale of Dryject's trademarked merchandise, including wholesalers and retailers, but not for Dryject turf aeration services within a franchisee's designated territory.
