What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from using the company's proprietary marks as part of their email address. This restriction is in place to protect Spray Net's brand identity and ensure consistent representation across all franchise locations.
This means a franchisee cannot incorporate any Spray Net trademarks, service marks, or trade names into their email address. For example, an email address like "spraynet.john@example.com" would not be permissible. This restriction extends to other online presences as well, including corporate or business names, domain names, and social media profiles.
Spray Net provides franchisees with at least one email address that must be used for the franchised business. This measure ensures that all communications align with the company's branding standards and helps maintain a unified image. Franchisees must adhere to these guidelines to avoid any potential infringement on Spray Net's proprietary rights and to remain in compliance with the franchise agreement.
