Does the Spray Net Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement cover proprietary software?

According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement does cover their proprietary software. The FDD states that "The Spray-Network is the proprietary software of Spray-Net, and may not be sold, redistributed, reverse engineered or used in any other manner than intended for use with the franchise business model." This means that franchisees are explicitly prohibited from taking actions like selling, reverse engineering, or otherwise misusing the software.

Spray Net franchisees are granted a limited license to use the Spray-Network software for the duration of their franchise agreement. This license allows them to manage users, administer the platform, and utilize the software for its intended purpose within the Spray Net business model. The software is intended for use on a Chrome browser, desktop, or iPad, with some modules available on mobile devices. Franchisees must ensure their employees or business partners using the software are active users under their franchise location and must remove users who are no longer active.

Franchisees are responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of Spray Net's proprietary software. They must prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure of the software. This includes safeguarding against reverse engineering, decompilation, or any attempt to derive the source code of the Spray-Network. Franchisees are also responsible for ensuring that their employees and business partners comply with these confidentiality obligations. Failure to comply with these restrictions could result in termination of the franchise agreement and potential legal action by Spray Net.
