Spray_Net Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You must modify or discontinue the use of a trademark if we modify or discontinue it. If this happens, you will be responsible for your tangible costs of compliance (for example, changing exterior and interior signage, advertisements and promotional material, etc.). We are not obligated to reimburse you for any loss of revenue attributable to the modified or discontinued mark or for any expenditure you incur to promote a modified or substitute mark.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Spray Net modifies or discontinues the use of a trademark, franchisees must comply with the changes. This means a Spray Net franchisee is obligated to modify or discontinue using the trademark as directed by the company.
This compliance extends to tangible aspects of the business, such as changing exterior and interior signage, advertisements, and promotional materials. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with these changes.
Spray Net does not provide reimbursement for any loss of revenue that the franchisee may experience due to the trademark modification or discontinuation. Additionally, Spray Net will not cover any expenses the franchisee incurs to promote a modified or substitute mark. This lack of financial support for lost revenue or promotional expenses is a notable risk for prospective franchisees.
