What happens to the other provisions of the Bambu MUD Agreement if one is deemed invalid?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a court finds any provision of the MUD Agreement unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the agreement will remain in effect. The document states that the parties authorize the arbitrator or court to modify the unenforceable provision to make it enforceable, while still carrying out the intent of the parties. If the provision cannot be modified, it will be removed from the agreement.

This clause ensures that as much of the original agreement as possible remains valid and enforceable. It prevents a single invalid clause from nullifying the entire agreement, which could have significant legal and financial consequences for both Bambu and the franchisee.

This type of severability clause is standard in franchise agreements. It reflects an effort to balance protecting each party's interests with maintaining a functional business relationship. Prospective franchisees should understand that while some terms might be altered or removed, the core obligations and rights outlined in the agreement will likely persist.
