How does this Rider modify the Dryject franchise agreement regarding renewal, specifically subsection 6(f)?

According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, a Rider modifies the franchise agreement concerning renewal. Specifically, it states that subsection 6(f) of the agreement is entirely deleted. This means that the original terms of subsection 6(f), which likely detailed the conditions and procedures for renewal, are removed from the agreement.

For a prospective Dryject franchisee, this deletion has significant implications. The franchisee should carefully review the rest of the franchise agreement and any other addenda to understand the new terms governing renewal. It is important to determine what replaces the deleted subsection to understand the process and requirements for renewing the franchise agreement.

It is also important to note that the Minnesota Rider to the Dryject franchise agreement includes specific stipulations regarding non-renewal. It states that Dryject will comply with Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.14, subds. 3, 4, and 5, which require, except in certain specified cases, that the franchisee be given 180 days’ notice for nonrenewal of the franchise agreement. This is an important protection for franchisees operating in Minnesota.

Prospective franchisees should seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of this modification and how it affects their rights and obligations regarding franchise renewal. They should also inquire with Dryject about the specific reasons for deleting subsection 6(f) and what provisions now govern the renewal process.
