What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, a franchisee must immediately cease holding themselves out as a Dryject franchisee and discontinue any actions that suggest a past or present relationship with Dryject.
Additionally, the franchisee is obligated to promptly remove or cover any structures, signs, or advertisements that are identifiable with Dryject's name or image. They must also take the necessary steps to cancel any assumed names or registrations related to the use of Dryject's trademarks, or alternatively, assign these names to Dryject.
Furthermore, the franchisee is required to assign to Dryject any interest in telephone numbers, listings, social media accounts, and internet numbers used in connection with the franchised business. The franchisee must also transfer all telephone calls to Dryject or another party as directed by Dryject, and execute any documents necessary to effect this transfer. This ensures that after the franchise agreement ends, the franchisee no longer represents or operates as a Dryject business, and all associated branding and communication channels are transferred back to Dryject.
