Where should a Bambu franchisee sign on Attachment IV?

According to the 2025 Bambu Franchise Disclosure Document, Attachment IV, titled "Riders to Franchise Agreement for Specific States or Provinces," requires a signature on the first page of the attachment if an Illinois Rider is applicable. This instruction is specific to the Illinois Rider, which includes provisions related to Illinois law governing the Franchise Agreement, jurisdiction and venue stipulations, franchisees' rights upon termination and non-renewal as per the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act, and a deferral of initial fees payable to Bambu until certain obligations are met and business has commenced.

For prospective Bambu franchisees in Illinois, this means they must sign the first page of Attachment IV to acknowledge the specific conditions and stipulations that apply to their franchise agreement under Illinois law. The inclusion of these riders ensures compliance with state-specific regulations and provides additional protections and disclosures to franchisees operating within those states.

It is important for franchisees to carefully review Attachment IV, particularly if they are operating in a state for which a rider is included, to understand their rights and obligations fully. Franchisees should also note that the terms of any applicable rider supersede conflicting terms in the main Franchise Agreement, highlighting the importance of understanding these state-specific modifications.
