Under what state's laws is the Dryject agreement governed and construed?

According to the 2025 Dryject FDD, the Spousal Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This means that any legal disputes arising from this specific agreement will be subject to Pennsylvania law, regardless of where the franchisee or their spouse resides.

This clause ensures that Dryject operates under a consistent legal framework for these agreements, which is especially important given the sensitive nature of non-disclosure and non-competition terms. Franchisees and their spouses need to understand that if a dispute arises related to this agreement, they may need to engage with the legal system in Pennsylvania.

It is important to note that this governing law applies specifically to the Spousal Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. Other agreements, such as the Telephone Listing Agreement, may be governed by the laws of different states, such as Pennsylvania in that instance. Franchisees should carefully review each agreement to understand which state's laws apply.
