What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can terminate the franchise agreement if Bombs Away violates a material provision of the agreement. The franchisee must provide written notice to Bombs Away detailing the alleged default. Bombs Away then has 30 days to either cure the violation or make substantial progress toward curing it. If Bombs Away fails to meet this requirement, the franchisee can terminate the agreement.
The termination becomes effective 10 days after Bombs Away receives the written notice of termination from the franchisee. This means that the franchisee must continue to operate the business and adhere to the franchise agreement terms during this 10-day period. Failing to do so could result in additional penalties or legal action from Bombs Away.
This termination clause is relatively standard in franchising. It provides a mechanism for franchisees to exit the agreement if the franchisor fails to uphold their end of the bargain. However, it's important for prospective franchisees to carefully document any alleged violations by Bombs Away and to ensure they comply with the notice requirements to avoid any disputes over the termination's validity.
