What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, the General Release requires franchisees and guarantors to consent to the entry of a temporary or permanent injunction. Specifically, by signing the General Release, franchisees acknowledge that the release serves as a complete defense against any claim released under Section 1 of the agreement.
Furthermore, the franchisee and any guarantors explicitly consent to the entry of either a temporary or permanent injunction. This injunction is designed to prevent or stop the assertion of any claim that has been released under Section 1 of the General Release.
This requirement means that a franchisee gives up the right to fight against an injunction. This could have significant implications if a dispute arises where Bumper Man seeks an injunction against the franchisee. The franchisee, having already consented, may face a difficult legal battle to oppose it.
