What happens if a term of the Bumble Roofing note is invalid in a specific jurisdiction?

According to the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, if any term or provision of the promissory note is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, it will not impact the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms or provisions of the note. Furthermore, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect the term or provision in any other jurisdiction. This clause ensures that the rest of the agreement remains in effect even if a specific part is challenged and found to be invalid under the laws of a particular state or region.

This provision is fairly standard in franchise agreements and contracts in general. It aims to maintain the overall integrity and enforceability of the agreement, preventing a single issue from nullifying the entire document. For a Bumble Roofing franchisee, this means that if a specific clause related to the promissory note is challenged in their local jurisdiction and found to be unenforceable, the rest of the note, including payment terms and other obligations, will still apply.

However, it is important for a prospective Bumble Roofing franchisee to understand which specific terms could be at risk of being challenged in their jurisdiction. Consulting with a legal professional to review the promissory note and understand its implications within the franchisee's specific state or local laws is advisable. This can help the franchisee anticipate potential issues and ensure they are fully aware of their obligations and rights under the agreement.
