What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Spray Net Franchise Disclosure Document does not specify a time period after which Spray Net can require a franchisee to provide Ancillary Services. However, the FDD does state that a franchisee shall only have the right to operate the franchised business and offer approved services and ancillary services, if applicable, within their designated territory.
Spray Net may request a franchisee to provide approved services and/or ancillary services outside of their designated territory under certain circumstances. If the franchisee agrees to do so, Spray Net will reimburse the franchisee for all actual costs related to providing such services upon receiving receipts.
Regardless of whether a franchisee offers or declines to offer ancillary services, Spray Net or its affiliates have the right to offer and/or provide such services within the franchisee's designated territory. Spray Net can also authorize another Spray Net franchisee or sell franchise rights to a third party to offer ancillary services within the designated territory, without any remuneration to the original franchisee.
