Do changes in prices or terms of sale by Bambu affect orders already accepted?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bambu and its affiliates have the right to change the prices, discounts, or terms of sale of any products or items. However, these changes will not affect accepted orders that are pending with Bambu and its affiliates at the time of the change. This means that once an order has been accepted by Bambu, the franchisee is guaranteed the price and terms that were in effect at the time of acceptance, regardless of any subsequent changes.

This provision protects franchisees from unexpected cost increases or changes in terms for orders they have already placed and that Bambu has committed to fulfill. It provides a degree of certainty in managing inventory costs and pricing, as franchisees can rely on the agreed-upon terms for pending orders. This is a beneficial term for franchisees, as it allows them to plan their finances and operations with more predictability.

However, franchisees should be aware that this protection only applies to 'accepted orders pending with Bambu.' It is important to understand what constitutes an 'accepted order' in Bambu's ordering process. Franchisees should clarify with Bambu the exact point at which an order is considered accepted to avoid any potential disputes regarding price or term changes. Franchisees should also be aware that Bambu may change product offerings at any time without notice.
