What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota Statute Section 80C.17, Subd. 5 dictates that any claims or actions based on a violation of Chapter 80C of Minnesota statutes, or any rule or order related to it, must be initiated within three years. This three-year period starts from the date when the facts that give rise to the claim or action occur.
For a prospective Bambu franchisee in Minnesota, this means they have a limited time to bring legal action if they believe Bambu has violated the state's franchise laws. It is crucial to keep detailed records and seek legal advice promptly if any issues arise.
This statute of limitations serves as a deadline, and failing to act within the three-year window could result in the franchisee losing their right to sue for damages or other remedies. This provision is specific to Minnesota; other states may have different statutes of limitations for franchise-related claims.
