Must a Bambu franchisee comply with all agreements with third parties related to the Bambu shoppe?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must comply with all agreements with third parties related to their Bambu shoppe. This includes adhering to all provisions in any premises lease or equipment lease.

This requirement means that franchisees must carefully review and understand all third-party agreements they enter into for their Bambu location. Failure to comply with these agreements could result in a default, which Bambu may consider a default under the franchise agreement itself. This could potentially lead to Bambu exercising its remedies for default, as outlined in the franchise agreement.

For prospective franchisees, this underscores the importance of due diligence when negotiating leases or other agreements with third parties. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to ensure they fully understand their obligations and to avoid any potential conflicts with the franchise agreement. Maintaining good relationships with landlords and equipment lessors is crucial for the smooth operation of the Bambu shoppe and to avoid any actions that could jeopardize the franchise.
