What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bambu Franchise Disclosure Document, Bambu does not provide any product warranties beyond those offered by the original manufacturer. The products that a franchisee purchases from Bambu or its affiliated companies are only subject to the manufacturer's warranties. This means that Bambu franchisees must rely solely on the manufacturer's warranty for any defects or issues with the products they purchase.
Bambu explicitly disclaims all other warranties, whether express or implied, including those related to the product's merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This disclaimer places the responsibility on the franchisee to thoroughly inspect all product deliveries upon arrival.
The franchisee is responsible for reporting any inconsistencies, damages, or shortages directly to the applicable supplier. This immediate inspection and reporting are crucial because Bambu will not be held liable for issues that could potentially be covered under a warranty if not addressed promptly with the supplier. This is a common practice in franchising, where the franchisor often relies on the manufacturer's warranties for products and equipment used in the franchised business.
