What happens if Bumble Roofing modifies or discontinues a Mark?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Bumble Roofing modifies or discontinues a Mark, franchisees must also modify or discontinue its use. In such cases, Bumble Roofing will reimburse the franchisee for their tangible out-of-pocket costs of compliance. These costs are specifically related to changing letterhead and business cards.

This provision protects Bumble Roofing's brand identity and ensures consistent branding across all franchise locations. It also means that franchisees must be prepared to update their materials if Bumble Roofing makes changes to its Marks. The reimbursement for tangible costs helps to offset the financial burden of these changes, but franchisees should be aware that this reimbursement is limited to specific items like letterhead and business cards.

Furthermore, franchisees are prohibited from directly or indirectly contesting Bumble Roofing's rights to the Marks or any other trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, trade secrets, or business techniques that are part of Bumble Roofing's business. This underscores the importance of respecting Bumble Roofing's intellectual property and adhering to their branding guidelines. Franchisees should be aware that they cannot challenge Bumble Roofing's ownership or use of these Marks.
