What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for ensuring their employees accept the current Terms and Conditions before using the proprietary Spray-Network software. This means a Spray Net franchisee must implement a process to confirm that each employee has agreed to the software's terms before they are allowed to access and use it.
This requirement places an administrative burden on the franchisee, who must track and verify employee acceptance. Failure to comply could result in employees using the software without agreeing to the terms, potentially exposing the franchisee to legal or contractual issues with Spray Net. The franchisee should maintain records of employee acceptances to demonstrate compliance.
Many franchise systems require franchisees and their employees to adhere to specific software terms and conditions, especially when using proprietary systems critical to the business operation. Spray Net's explicit assignment of responsibility to the franchisee is a common practice, ensuring accountability for proper software usage and agreement to the relevant terms.
