Does the Bambu franchise agreement require Bambu to provide notice before terminating for misuse of marks?

According to the 2025 Bambu Franchise Disclosure Document, Bambu is required to provide a 48-hour notice to a franchisee for misuse of its marks before termination. Specifically, if a franchisee misuses or fails to follow Bambu's directions and guidelines concerning the use of Bambu's marks, the franchisee has 48 hours after notification from Bambu to correct the misuse or failure.

This 48-hour notice and cure period is a specific requirement outlined in the franchise agreement. If the franchisee corrects the misuse within that timeframe, Bambu cannot terminate the agreement on those grounds. This clause protects the franchisee from immediate termination for minor or unintentional errors in trademark usage, providing an opportunity to rectify the situation.

It is important for prospective Bambu franchisees to understand the specific guidelines for using Bambu's trademarks and to ensure compliance with these guidelines to avoid potential disputes or termination. Franchisees should also be aware of the notification process and the importance of responding promptly to any notices of misuse from Bambu to protect their franchise rights.
