What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement can be terminated under certain conditions. Specifically, if a franchisee has another Bumble Roofing franchise agreement and defaults on one, Bumble Roofing has the option to terminate both agreements. Additionally, if either agreement ceases to be valid, binding, and in full force for any reason, Bumble Roofing may terminate the other agreement.
Furthermore, Bumble Roofing can choose not to extend the franchise agreement at the end of the initial term if the franchisee fails to meet certain requirements. These include failing to remedy breaches of the agreement, committing multiple breaches, not providing timely notice of intent to extend, not being current on payment obligations, not meeting qualifications for new or renewing franchisees, or not executing a successor franchise agreement. Failure to give timely notice of intention to extend the rights to operate the Roofing Business, as described in Section 3.1(d) shall be deemed an election not to extend Franchisee's rights to operate the Roofing Business.
These stipulations mean that a Bumble Roofing franchisee's rights can be terminated or not renewed if they fail to comply with the terms of the agreement or meet Bumble Roofing's standards. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the conditions under which Bumble Roofing can terminate the agreement to fully understand their obligations and the potential for termination.
