Under what circumstances are fees paid to Bumble Roofing or its affiliates refundable?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all fees paid to Bumble Roofing or its affiliates are non-refundable under any circumstances once paid. However, fees paid to vendors or other suppliers may or may not be refundable, depending on the specific policies of those vendors and suppliers.

This non-refundable policy means that once a Bumble Roofing franchisee pays any fee directly to the company, whether it's for initial franchise fees, royalties, technology fees, or any other charges, the franchisee cannot get that money back, regardless of the situation. This is a standard practice in franchising, as these fees often cover Bumble Roofing's administrative costs, training, and ongoing support.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this policy and ensure they have a clear understanding of all fees and their obligations before signing the franchise agreement. It is also important to carefully review the refund policies of any third-party vendors or suppliers that Bumble Roofing requires franchisees to use, as those policies are separate from Bumble Roofing's own non-refundable fee policy. Franchisees should inquire about these policies during their due diligence process to fully understand the financial commitments involved in operating a Bumble Roofing franchise.
