What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee has multiple Bumble Roofing franchise agreements and defaults on one, it constitutes a default on all agreements, giving Bumble Roofing the right to terminate all agreements.
Specifically, if a Bumble Roofing franchisee, or any entity in which they hold a controlling equity interest, is a franchisee under another Bumble Roofing franchise agreement, a default under one agreement triggers a default under all other Bumble Roofing franchise agreements. This gives Bumble Roofing the same legal remedies across all agreements.
Furthermore, if any of the Bumble Roofing franchise agreements cease to be valid, binding, and in full effect for any reason, Bumble Roofing has the option to terminate all other agreements. This means that if one franchise agreement is terminated, Bumble Roofing can terminate all other agreements the franchisee has, and the franchisee must surrender the terminated agreements.
