What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to maintain the then-current operating procedures and standards established by Bumble Roofing, it constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement. Bumble Roofing will deliver a written notice describing the required action to correct the failure. The franchisee then has 10 days to correct the failure. However, if this is the first instance of non-compliance or breach, the franchisee is given 30 days to correct the failure after receiving written notice from Bumble Roofing.
If the breach is curable but cannot be reasonably cured within the initial 30-day period, and the franchisee has started and continues to make good faith efforts to correct the breach, Bumble Roofing will grant an additional reasonable period, not exceeding 30 days, to complete the cure.
Failure to comply with the operating procedures and standards can lead to termination of the franchise agreement if the franchisee does not rectify the situation within the given time frame. This highlights the importance of adhering to Bumble Roofing's established systems and guidelines to maintain a successful franchise and avoid potential termination.
