Which provisions of the Bombs Away Franchise Agreement apply to disputes concerning the release?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of any dispute concerning the General Release, the dispute resolution, governing law, and venue provisions of the Franchise Agreement will apply. This means that any legal disagreements related to the Release will be subject to the same processes and rules outlined in the main Franchise Agreement for resolving conflicts.

Specifically, this incorporates provisions like Article 17 of the Franchise Agreement, which details the dispute resolution process, including arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association. It also means that the governing law and where the legal proceedings will take place are determined by the Franchise Agreement, ensuring consistency across all contractual aspects of the franchise relationship.

For a prospective Bombs Away franchisee, this clause provides clarity and predictability. Instead of having separate dispute resolution mechanisms for the Franchise Agreement and the General Release, all disputes are handled under the same umbrella. However, franchisees should carefully review Article 17 of the Franchise Agreement to fully understand the implications of these provisions, including arbitration procedures, confidentiality clauses, and any limitations on remedies or class actions.
