Is there a cause required to terminate the B Bops Application Agreement?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, both B Bops and the applicant have the right to terminate the Application Agreement without providing a specific reason or cause. This termination can occur at any time by giving written notice to the other party. If the agreement is terminated, the deposit, or a portion of it, will be returned to the applicant according to the terms outlined in Section 7 of the agreement.

If B Bops decides not to grant the rights to the applicant, this decision, when communicated in writing, immediately terminates the agreement. In this case, the applicant loses any further interest in the trade area. Upon termination, the applicant must return all confidential information to B Bops, and in return, B Bops will refund the deposit, or a portion thereof, as detailed in Section 7.

Section 7 specifies that if B Bops grants the rights to the applicant, the deposit will be credited towards the initial franchise fee or the development fee, whichever is applicable. However, if B Bops decides not to grant the rights, or if either party terminates the agreement, the applicant is entitled to a refund of the deposit, minus the lesser of $4,500 or the actual expenses incurred by B Bops in providing services, including travel, lodging, out-of-pocket expenses, and a $100 per hour charge for office time spent reviewing or preparing information. B Bops will forward any refund within ten days after the applicant returns all confidential information. Failure to return the confidential information results in forfeiture of the entire deposit.
