What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's failure to consistently pay debts as they become due can lead to a default under the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, if a Dryject franchisee fails to consistently pay the debts of the franchised business as they become due, this is considered a failure to comply with the requirements imposed by the agreement or a failure to carry out the terms of the agreement in good faith.
This default can trigger consequences, especially if the franchisee receives two or more notices of material breach from Dryject within a 12-month period for any defaults, whether or not those defaults were cured after notice. In such cases, Dryject has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement. The termination becomes effective three days after the franchisee receives written notice, although the specific period may vary based on legal requirements.
This provision highlights the importance of maintaining good financial standing and meeting payment obligations for a Dryject franchise. Failure to do so not only risks the business's relationships with suppliers but also jeopardizes the franchisee's standing with Dryject, potentially leading to termination of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should ensure they have sufficient financial resources and management practices in place to meet their financial obligations consistently.
