What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the indemnification fee is the actual costs incurred by Bumble Roofing. This fee is due as incurred. Bumble Roofing specifies that a franchisee must reimburse them if they are held liable for claims arising from the franchisee's roofing business.
In practice, this means that if a customer sues Bumble Roofing because of something the franchisee or their employees did (or failed to do) while providing services, and Bumble Roofing is found liable, the franchisee will have to cover Bumble Roofing's costs. These costs could include legal fees, settlement amounts, and other associated expenses.
This type of indemnification clause is standard in franchise agreements. It protects the franchisor from liabilities caused by the franchisee's operations. A prospective Bumble Roofing franchisee should understand that they are responsible for the financial consequences of their business's actions and should maintain adequate insurance coverage to mitigate this risk.
