What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland Addendum does not modify the entire Franchise Agreement, but rather makes specific modifications. The addendum states that any capitalized terms not defined within it will have the same meaning as in the original Franchise Agreement.
Specifically, the Maryland Addendum to the Franchise Agreement for Bumble Roofing states that unless expressly modified by the addendum, the original Franchise Agreement remains in full effect. This implies that only certain sections or terms are altered, while the rest of the agreement remains unchanged. The addendum also clarifies that if there is any conflict between the addendum and the Franchise Agreement, the terms and conditions of the addendum will take precedence.
Additionally, the Maryland Addendum to the Aggregate Reporting Addendum to Franchise Agreement states that it applies to the extent the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law applies. It also amends any provisions in the Aggregate Reporting Addendum that are inconsistent with specific stipulations, such as those related to releases, estoppel, or waivers of liability under Maryland Franchise Law. This further emphasizes that the modifications are targeted and do not represent a complete overhaul of the original agreements.
