What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, guidelines regarding proper trademark use and notices are found in the Operations Manual. These guidelines will be updated periodically at Bumble Roofing's discretion. Franchisees are prohibited from using the marks with unauthorized products or services, or in any manner not authorized in writing by Bumble Roofing.
Bumble Roofing franchisees must indicate in the Franchise Agreement and as specified in the Operations Manual that they are independent operators. They cannot use any of the marks alone or with modifying words, designs, or symbols as part of a corporate or business name, or in any form on the Internet, including URLs, domain names, e-mail addresses, locators, links, metatags, or search techniques.
Before filing any registration documents, franchisees must obtain Bumble Roofing's prior written approval of their company name. These restrictions are typical in franchising, as franchisors need to protect their brand identity and ensure consistent representation across all franchise locations. The Operations Manual serves as a central resource for franchisees to understand and adhere to these brand standards.
