What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is permitted to use the Proprietary Marks or System specifically for promoting and operating their franchised business within their designated territory and at the approved premises. This means the franchisee's use of Spray Net's trademarks, service marks, and operational methods is restricted to running their own Spray Net franchise.
This permitted use is further defined by the requirement to maintain and display signage and advertising that reflects the current commercial image of the Spray Net system. Franchisees must also discontinue the use of any Proprietary Marks or imagery that the franchisor deems obsolete. The franchisee's right to use Spray Net's intellectual property is contingent upon their full and timely performance under the franchise agreement.
Spray Net franchisees cannot use the Proprietary Marks as part of their corporate or any other business name, domain name, email address, or any social media profile. They also cannot use the marks to perform any activity or incur any obligation that might make Spray Net liable without prior written consent. This ensures that the franchisee operates independently and does not create any legal or financial risks for the franchisor.
Overall, these restrictions are typical in franchising, as they protect the brand's uniformity and reputation. Prospective Spray Net franchisees should understand these limitations and ensure they are comfortable operating within these guidelines.
