Under what circumstances would a Dryject franchisee need to reimburse Dryject for additional assistance?
Dryject Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If You desire to purchase any services or products from suppliers that We have not previously approved, You or the supplier must submit a written request for such approval to Us. As a condition of Our approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, We may require that Our representatives be allowed to inspect the supplier's facilities and/or that a sample of its product be made available to Us or Our designee for testing. In such event You or the supplier may be charged a fee not to exceed the actual cost of such inspection and/or testing. Within thirty (30) days of delivery of the test results, if testing is conducted or the written request if testing is not conducted, We will issue a decision in writing. Such decision may be a determination that additional time is needed to complete the review. Any denial will state the reasons. In the event We do not provide You with a written decision, the request shall be deemed denied.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be charged a fee to cover the costs associated with the approval of new suppliers. Specifically, if a franchisee wants to purchase services or products from a supplier not already approved by Dryject, they or the supplier must submit a written request for approval.
As a condition of Dryject's approval, the company may require that its representatives inspect the supplier's facilities or test a sample of the supplier's product. If such an inspection or testing is required, the franchisee or the supplier may be charged a fee. This fee will not exceed the actual cost of the inspection or testing.
Dryject will provide a written decision within thirty days of receiving the test results, if testing is conducted, or within thirty days of the written request if testing is not conducted. The decision may include a determination that additional time is needed to complete the review. If Dryject does not provide a written decision within the specified timeframe, the request is deemed denied. Any denial will include the reasons for the denial.
