What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or early expiration of the Franchise Agreement, franchisees must cease ownership and operation of the Franchised Business. They must also stop doing business in a way that could lead the public to believe they are still operating a Spray Net franchise. This prevents confusion and protects the brand's reputation.
In addition to ceasing operations, franchisees are required to return the Spray-Net Operations Manual and any other Confidential Information to Spray Net. They must also assign all approved service contracts, telephone/fax numbers, and domain names to the company. Furthermore, franchisees must discontinue the use of Proprietary Marks and trade dress associated with Spray Net.
Compliance with post-term restrictive covenants is also mandatory, and franchisees must pay any outstanding amounts owed to Spray Net and its Approved Suppliers. Franchisees are required to provide written confirmation of their compliance with these obligations within 30 days of termination or expiration. These measures ensure a clean break and protect Spray Net's interests after a franchise agreement ends.
