What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject FDD, if Dryject notifies a franchisee that they are in default of Section 25, the franchisee has the burden of proving they are not in default. The franchisee must respond to any default notice within five days. To cure the default, the franchisee must immediately take all steps to cure said default in a manner satisfactory to Dryject.
Section 25 likely contains covenants related to competitive business activities. If a franchisee breaches covenants in Subsections 25(a) and (b), they must pay Dryject a fee equal to the then-current Initial Franchise Fee for each Competitive Business identified, plus eight percent of each Competitive Business's Gross Revenues until the non-competition period expires.
Dryject retains the right to pursue any and all rights of remedy and enforcement available to them, either at law or in equity. The specific actions required to cure a default are not explicitly detailed in this section, but the franchisee must take immediate steps to resolve the issue to Dryject's satisfaction. Franchisees should seek clarification from Dryject regarding what specific actions would be deemed satisfactory in curing a default under Section 25.
