What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, the acceptance of any interest payment by Bumble Roofing does not waive its rights regarding the default that led to the payment. Bumble Roofing retains the right to terminate the agreement despite accepting the interest payment.
If a Bumble Roofing franchisee has multiple franchise agreements with the company, a default in one agreement constitutes a default in all other Bumble Roofing franchise agreements. This gives Bumble Roofing the right to pursue the same remedies across all agreements. If one Bumble Roofing franchise agreement ends for any reason, Bumble Roofing has the option to terminate the other agreements.
These clauses ensure that Bumble Roofing retains its rights and remedies even if it accepts payments or if the franchisee has multiple agreements. This is a common practice in franchising to protect the franchisor's interests and maintain consistency across the franchise system.
