When does the Maryland Rider to the Bombs Away Franchise Agreement become effective?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland Rider to the Franchise Agreement becomes effective as of the Effective Date. The rider itself amends the franchise agreement between Bombs Away Franchising, LLC, and the franchisee.

The Maryland Rider includes specific provisions related to Maryland Franchise Law, addressing aspects such as releases, estoppels, waivers of liability, statutes of limitations, and jurisdiction. These provisions ensure that the franchisee's rights under Maryland law are protected and that certain clauses in the standard franchise agreement do not override those rights.

For a prospective Bombs Away franchisee in Maryland, this means that the rider is an integral part of their franchise agreement from the start. It clarifies how Maryland law interacts with the standard terms of the agreement, particularly concerning legal rights and obligations. The "Effective Date" is defined in the main franchise agreement, so franchisees should refer to that date in their contract to understand when the rider takes effect.
