In the event of a dispute regarding the content of the FRC Materials, which copy is controlling for a Bambu franchise?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of a disagreement about the content of the Franchise Resource Center (FRC) Materials, the master copy maintained by Bambu will be the controlling version. This master copy is kept either at Bambu's principal office or on its website.

This means that if a franchisee has a printed or downloaded version of the FRC Materials that differs from the version Bambu maintains, Bambu's version will be considered the official and correct one. Franchisees are responsible for updating their copies of the FRC Materials as instructed by Bambu and must conform their operations to the updated provisions within 10 days of receiving each update.

This clause is important for prospective franchisees because it emphasizes the need to stay current with any updates or changes to the FRC Materials communicated by Bambu. Franchisees should regularly check the FRC website or any other official communication channels to ensure they are operating according to the most recent guidelines. Failure to comply with the updated FRC Materials could be considered a breach of the franchise agreement.
