What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must respond to instructions from Dryject regarding internet or e-commerce activities within 24 hours. Specifically, this applies to instructions that "restrict, designate or control internet or e-commerce activities." This rapid response time is due to the speed of electronic communication.
This requirement is part of Dryject's broader control over the franchisee's online presence. Dryject has the final say on the content and functionality of the Dryject website and can update or modify it as they see fit. Franchisees must also ensure that any information they post or submit for the website is accurate, not misleading, and doesn't infringe on third-party rights.
Furthermore, franchisees are obligated to inform Dryject whenever any information about them or their franchise business on the Dryject website changes or is inaccurate. Dryject also maintains the right to oversee and approve any existing or future fan pages or other advertising and social networking services used by the franchise. They also require administrator privileges to all of the franchisee's software, electronic mail, social media, marketing platforms, digital marketing, and e-commerce activities. This ensures Dryject can maintain brand standards and control online messaging.
