Who is responsible for the costs associated with currency transfer and exchange for a Bambu franchise?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for covering all costs and charges related to currency transfer and exchange. This includes any expenses incurred when transferring and exchanging currency for payments to Bambu.

Specifically, all payments to Bambu must be made in United States Dollars, net of any taxes or withholdings, unless otherwise stated. The exchange rate used for calculating payments will be the rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the day the payment is due. If a payment is not made on time, Bambu will use either the exchange rate on the due date or the exchange rate on the actual payment date, whichever results in a greater amount to Bambu.

This means that prospective Bambu franchisees, especially those operating outside the United States, need to factor in these potential currency exchange costs when budgeting for their franchise. Fluctuations in exchange rates could impact the final cost of franchise fees and other payments to Bambu. Franchisees should also be aware that if there are any discrepancies between the English version of the franchise agreement and a translated version, the English version will be considered the official text.
