Can Bombs Away Franchising videotape or photograph the business evaluation?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bombs Away Franchising has the right to videotape and/or take photographs of the business evaluation. This evaluation is part of Bombs Away Franchising's process to assess the franchisee's business operations and compliance with the franchise agreement.

The business evaluation may involve observing operations, conducting physical inventory, assessing physical conditions, monitoring sales, speaking with employees and customers, and taking samples of products. Bombs Away Franchising may also set minimum score requirements for these evaluations, and failure to meet these scores can result in a default under the franchise agreement.

This means that as a Bombs Away franchisee, you must cooperate with Bombs Away Franchising's evaluators during these assessments. The results of these evaluations can impact your standing with the franchise, potentially leading to required corrections of deficiencies or, in more severe cases, a default under the agreement.

Furthermore, if an evaluation is triggered by a governmental report, customer complaint, or a failure to comply with system standards, Bombs Away Franchising may charge the franchisee for all out-of-pocket expenses, along with their current evaluation fee. Therefore, it is crucial for franchisees to maintain compliance with Bombs Away's standards and address any issues promptly to avoid additional costs and potential penalties.
