Does the Bombs Away Franchise Agreement specify any limitations on Bombs Away Franchising's ability to delegate duties?

According to the 2024 Bombs Away Franchise Disclosure Document, Bombs Away Franchising has the ability to delegate duties or obligations under the Franchise Agreement to either an affiliate or a third party. This means that Bombs Away Franchising can assign its responsibilities to another entity without needing the franchisee's consent.

For a prospective franchisee, this clause provides Bombs Away Franchising with flexibility in managing its business operations. It allows Bombs Away to outsource certain functions or transfer responsibilities to specialized entities, potentially improving efficiency or service quality. However, it also means that the franchisee may have to deal with different entities during the course of the agreement, which could lead to inconsistencies or communication challenges.

While the FDD specifies that Bombs Away Franchising can delegate duties, it does not elaborate on the types of duties that can be delegated or the criteria for selecting the affiliate or third party. It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand the implications of this delegation clause and to inquire about the types of duties that are most likely to be delegated and the standards Bombs Away Franchising will use to ensure the quality and consistency of services provided by any delegatee.
