What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide the definition of the term "Entity" within the Bumper Man franchise agreement, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While the document includes definitions for terms such as "Affiliate," "Agreement," "Applicable Law," "Bumper Business," "Brand," "Brand Property," "Business Day," and "Certified Technician," it does not explicitly define "Entity." A prospective franchisee should ask Bumper Man for the specific definition used in their franchise agreement to fully understand their rights and obligations when the franchisee is a legal entity rather than an individual.
