In the event of conflicting laws, which law prevails for a Bumper Man franchise?

According to the 2025 Bumper Man FDD, in the state of Washington, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act will prevail if there is a conflict of laws. Specifically, chapter 19.100 RCW of the Act takes precedence over conflicting laws.

This means that if any part of the franchise agreement contradicts the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, the state law will be upheld. This protection is particularly relevant for Bumper Man franchisees operating in Washington, as it ensures that their rights are safeguarded by state law, especially concerning the termination and renewal of their franchise.

Prospective Bumper Man franchisees in Washington should carefully review chapter 19.100 RCW to understand their rights and protections under the law. They should also consult with a franchise attorney to ensure that the franchise agreement complies with Washington law and to understand the implications of any potential conflicts.
