What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee is required to remove the Bumper Man vehicle wrap. Specifically, the franchisee must make alterations to distinguish the business from its former appearance and other Bumper Man businesses to prevent public confusion.
Within 30 days of the termination date, the franchisee must deliver to Bumper Man all Brand Property, including vehicle wraps, advertising, and promotional materials that contain any Mark or identify the Bumper Business. The franchisee must also allow Bumper Man to remove these items from the business without liability.
The franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with complying with these de-identification obligations and must provide Bumper Man with satisfactory evidence of compliance within 30 days of termination. This ensures that the franchisee no longer represents the Bumper Man brand after the agreement ends and that all branding elements are removed from their vehicle and business.
