What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Spray Net system includes proprietary training programs, courses, and training materials. These materials are part of the distinguishing elements of the Spray-Net system.
Spray Net may also provide franchisees with information regarding new products, services, suppliers, or updated business methods. If a franchisee requests on-site assistance or training, they may have to pay Spray Net's current training tuition fee and reimburse expenses incurred by Spray Net personnel for providing the assistance.
Franchisees are responsible for completing all training related to the Spray-Network software and applying that training when operating the software. They are also responsible for training and supporting their own employees on the Spray-Network. Spray Net may provide training tools and materials to help franchisees train their employees, but Spray Net can decline to train a franchisee's employees. Franchisees must notify Spray Net if they find the training materials deficient and request additional training. Ultimately, the franchisee is responsible for ensuring their employees are properly trained on the Spray-Network and for any defects associated with misuse of the platform if recommended steps are not followed.
