What Washington law may supersede provisions in the Dryject franchise agreement concerning the relationship with the franchisor?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, RCW 19.100.180, also known as the Franchisee Bill of Rights within the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, may supersede provisions in the franchise agreement or related agreements concerning the franchisee's relationship with Dryject. This includes areas such as termination and renewal of the franchise.

This means that certain terms in the Dryject franchise agreement that govern how the franchise can be terminated or renewed might not be enforceable if they conflict with the rights granted to franchisees under Washington law. Court decisions may also take precedence over the franchise agreement concerning the relationship with the franchisor. Franchisees in Washington should be aware that state law takes precedence over the franchise agreement.

This protection ensures that Dryject franchisees in Washington are afforded certain minimum rights and protections under state law, regardless of what the franchise agreement might say. It is a fairly common practice for franchise agreements to be subject to state laws, especially in areas like termination, renewal, and dispute resolution. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act to understand their rights and how they may differ from the terms outlined in the Dryject franchise agreement.
