What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee needs to obtain approval from Spray Net, they must make a timely written request. Spray Net is then required to respond with either approval or disapproval within fifteen days of receiving the request, unless the agreement specifies a different period.
It is important to note that if Spray Net does not specifically approve a request within the fifteen-day period, it will be considered a disapproval. This means that franchisees should ensure they allow sufficient time for the approval process when planning their business activities.
This requirement for written requests and specified response times provides a structured process for franchisees seeking approvals, helping to ensure clarity and accountability in their interactions with Spray Net. Franchisees should maintain records of all requests and responses to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes.
