What is the consequence if a Bambu franchisee fails to follow Bambu's directions regarding the use of Bambu's Marks?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee misuses or fails to follow Bambu's directions and guidelines concerning the use of Bambu's Marks, and fails to correct the misuse or failure within 48 hours after notification from Bambu, it constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement. This gives Bambu grounds for default.

This means that a Bambu franchisee must strictly adhere to the brand's guidelines when using trademarks, logos, and other branding elements. This includes ensuring correct colors, fonts, placement, and approved messaging. Any deviation from these standards, even if unintentional, must be rectified within 48 hours of receiving notice from Bambu. Failure to do so can lead to further action from the franchisor.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding and complying with Bambu's brand standards. It also emphasizes the need for prompt action and communication with the franchisor to resolve any potential issues related to trademark usage. Ignoring or delaying the correction of a misuse of Bambu's Marks can have serious consequences, potentially leading to termination of the franchise agreement.
