What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Spray Net retains the right to modify its System standards and specifications. The methods, standards, and specifications of the Spray Net system are communicated to franchisees in writing during various stages, including location evaluation, training, initial marketing contribution, on-site opening assistance, periodic visits, bulletins, and through the Operations Manual and other proprietary guidelines.
Spray Net may periodically change these standards and specifications as they deem appropriate or necessary. The franchisee is solely responsible for the costs associated with complying with any modifications to the System. This includes adhering to approved services and products, which must meet Spray Net's System standards and specifications.
If a franchisee wishes to offer a product or service that is not an approved service or product, or use an item that does not meet Spray Net's standards, they must obtain prior written approval from Spray Net. This ensures that all aspects of the franchised business align with Spray Net's evolving standards and specifications. This is a fairly standard clause in franchise agreements, as franchisors need the flexibility to adapt to market changes and maintain brand consistency.
