Does the Bambu MUD Agreement disclaim representations made in the Disclosure Document?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the MUD (Multi-Unit Development) Agreement does not disclaim representations made in the Disclosure Document. Specifically, the MUD Agreement states that nothing within it or any related agreement is intended to disclaim the representations made in the Disclosure Document. This protects the franchisee by ensuring that the information provided in the FDD remains valid and reliable.

This clause is favorable for prospective Bambu franchisees because it confirms that they can rely on the information presented in the FDD when making their investment decision. Franchisees are not waiving their rights to hold Bambu accountable for the representations made within the FDD. This assurance is particularly important considering that the FDD contains critical details about the franchise system, including fees, obligations, and financial performance representations.

In the franchise industry, it is common for franchise agreements to contain integration clauses that state the written agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. However, the Bambu MUD agreement explicitly clarifies that it does not disclaim the FDD. This distinction provides an added layer of protection for the franchisee, ensuring that the FDD's representations remain in effect and can be relied upon. This is a beneficial term for the franchisee.
