What constitutes a violation of federal and state law regarding the Bombs Away disclosure document?

According to the 2024 Bombs Away Franchise Disclosure Document, a violation of federal and state law may occur if Bombs Away Franchising, LLC does not deliver the disclosure document on time, or if the document contains a false or misleading statement, or a material omission. The FDD states that in these cases, it should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., and any applicable state agency listed in Exhibit A.

Specifically, Bombs Away is required to provide the disclosure document to prospective franchisees 14 calendar days before they sign a binding agreement or make a payment to Bombs Away or an affiliate. New York has a stricter requirement, mandating that the document be provided at the earlier of the first personal meeting or 10 business days before the execution of any agreement or payment of any consideration related to the franchise relationship.

Prospective Bombs Away franchisees should carefully review the disclosure document and all related agreements. If they believe there are any discrepancies, false statements, or omissions, or if the document was not provided within the mandated time frame, they should seek legal counsel and report the potential violation to the appropriate authorities.
