What is the geographic scope of the Maryland Addendum to the Bumble Roofing Franchise Agreement?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland Addendum applies specifically to residents of Maryland, as well as franchises that are located and operated within the state of Maryland. This means that the provisions outlined in the addendum are only relevant to franchisees who live in Maryland or whose Bumble Roofing franchise will be based in Maryland.

This addendum serves to modify certain aspects of the standard Bumble Roofing franchise agreement to ensure compliance with Maryland's specific franchise laws and regulations. For instance, it addresses issues such as waivers of liability under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, dispute resolution through arbitration, and the statute of limitations for claims arising under Maryland franchise law.

For a prospective Bumble Roofing franchisee, this means that if you are a Maryland resident or plan to operate a franchise in Maryland, you should pay close attention to the details within the Maryland Addendum. It outlines specific legal protections and modifications to the standard franchise agreement that are relevant to your business operations within the state. Understanding these provisions is crucial for ensuring compliance and protecting your rights as a franchisee in Maryland.
