What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit G, the Acknowledgment Addendum to the Bumble Roofing Franchise Agreement includes a questionnaire for prospective franchisees. One of the questions in this questionnaire asks: "Did you receive a copy of our disclosure document (and all exhibits and attachments) at least 14 calendar days prior to signing the Franchise Agreement?" The franchisee must check either "Yes" or "No" to answer this question. If the answer is no, the franchisee is prompted to comment.
This acknowledgement is important because Bumble Roofing wants to ensure that franchisees have had adequate time to review the FDD and understand the terms of the franchise agreement before signing. Federal and state laws typically require franchisors to provide the FDD at least 14 days in advance to give potential franchisees sufficient time for due diligence. By having franchisees acknowledge receipt of the FDD within the required timeframe, Bumble Roofing aims to protect itself from potential legal challenges related to disclosure requirements.
Furthermore, the addendum states, "YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ANSWERS ARE IMPORTANT TO US AND THAT WE WILL RELY ON THEM. BY SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM, YOU ARE REPRESENTING THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED EACH QUESTION CAREFULLY AND RESPONDED TRUTHFULLY TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS." This statement emphasizes the importance of honest and accurate responses from the franchisee, as Bumble Roofing will rely on these answers. The addendum also clarifies that it is not intended to disclaim any representations made in the franchise disclosure document provided to the franchisee.
