What is a Bumble Roofing franchisee required to disclose regarding any litigation or legal proceedings?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to notify Bumble Roofing in writing within five days of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation. This includes the issuance of any order, injunction, award, or decree by any court, agency, or other governmental body. The notification is required if the action may adversely affect the operation or financial condition of the franchisee or the Bumble Roofing business.

This requirement ensures that Bumble Roofing is promptly informed of any legal or administrative issues that could impact the franchisee's ability to operate the business or its financial stability. This allows Bumble Roofing to assess the potential impact on the brand and the franchise system as a whole. It also enables Bumble Roofing to provide support or guidance to the franchisee in managing the situation.

For a prospective Bumble Roofing franchisee, this means being diligent in reporting any legal or administrative actions to the franchisor in a timely manner. Failure to do so could be considered a breach of the franchise agreement, potentially leading to penalties or termination of the agreement. This disclosure requirement is a standard practice in franchising, designed to protect the interests of both the franchisor and the franchisee by ensuring transparency and open communication regarding potential risks.
