Am I required to post a bond or security if Spray Net seeks an injunction?

According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, whether a franchisee is required to post a bond or security if Spray Net seeks an injunction against them is determined by the court, specifically in Minnesota. The Minnesota Addendum to the Franchise Disclosure Document states that the franchisee cannot consent to Spray Net obtaining injunctive relief. However, Spray Net retains the right to seek injunctive relief, and the decision to require a bond rests with the court.

This means that if you are a Spray Net franchisee in Minnesota, you cannot waive your right to have a court decide whether a bond is necessary should Spray Net seek an injunction against you. The court will assess the situation and determine if a bond is required to protect your interests. This provision ensures that the decision is impartial and based on the specific circumstances of the case.

For prospective Spray Net franchisees in Minnesota, this is a beneficial clause as it prevents the franchisor from unilaterally imposing a bond requirement without court oversight. It provides an additional layer of protection for the franchisee, ensuring that their rights are considered in any legal proceedings initiated by Spray Net.
