What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement contains the entire agreement between the franchisee and Bambu. As a franchisee, you acknowledge that you are not relying on any verbal representations or commitments made prior to signing the agreement. Bambu will not be held liable or obligated for claims of misrepresentation based on verbal promises or commitments.
Bambu does not authorize and will not be bound by any representation outside of what is written in the franchise agreement and the most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). This means that if a Bambu representative makes a promise that is not written in either of those documents, Bambu is not obligated to fulfill that promise.
Furthermore, as a franchisee, you acknowledge that Bambu has not made any representations regarding projected sales volumes, market potential, revenues, or profits of your Bambū shoppe, or operational assistance beyond what is stated in the franchise agreement and the most recent FDD. This is a standard clause in franchise agreements to protect the franchisor from liability based on overly optimistic projections that may have been discussed during the sales process.
