What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor may seek injunctive relief in Minnesota. However, the franchisee cannot consent to the franchisor obtaining injunctive relief. The courts will determine if a bond is required.

This means that Bombs Away retains the right to pursue court orders (injunctive relief) to compel a franchisee to take specific actions or to prevent them from doing something that could harm the franchise system. However, the franchisee's consent is not required for the franchisor to seek such relief.

This clause is significant because it clarifies the franchisor's legal options in Minnesota and ensures that franchisees are aware of the circumstances under which Bombs Away might seek injunctive relief. Franchisees should understand that while the franchisor can pursue these legal avenues, the court ultimately decides whether to grant such relief and whether a bond is necessary.
