What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement, along with all attachments and addenda, represents the entire agreement between Bambu and the franchisee. This clause supersedes any prior agreements related to the subject matter.
The agreement explicitly states that franchisees cannot rely on any verbal representations or commitments made before signing the agreement. Bambu will not be held liable for claims of negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation based on such verbal communications. This provision underscores the importance of documenting all understandings within the written agreement.
Bambu also clarifies that it is not bound by any representations outside of what is expressed in the franchise agreement and the most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
