What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain the reputation and prestige of the Bumble Roofing brand. Franchisees must avoid actions that could tarnish the brand's image or negatively impact its value and goodwill. They are prohibited from diluting the goodwill associated with the trademarks, either directly or indirectly, or assisting others in doing so. Franchisees are obligated to use the trademarks and copyrighted materials only in approved formats, including advertising, promotional materials, invoices, signage, and stationery, as specified by Bumble Roofing. They must also adhere to any instructions provided by Bumble Roofing regarding the use of these materials.
Bumble Roofing franchisees are required to include a copyright notice on all advertising and promotional materials. They must use the trademark symbols (®), ™, or SM as directed by Bumble Roofing. The franchisor retains the right to inspect the franchisee's business and operating procedures to ensure compliance with these standards.
Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to a breach of the franchise agreement. If a franchisee fails to maintain the standards of the business, Bumble Roofing may issue a written notice to remedy the breach. If the franchisee fails to remedy the breach or commits multiple breaches, it could affect their ability to extend the franchise agreement for a Successor Term. Specifically, to be eligible for a renewal, the franchisee must not have failed to remedy any breach specified in a written notice from Bumble Roofing, and must not have received notice of two or more breaches in the 12 months prior to the end of the current term, even if those breaches were resolved.
