What happens if a Bumper Man franchisee fails to submit invoices for processing?

According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, failure to submit invoices for processing can lead to termination of the franchise agreement. Specifically, if a franchisee fails to submit invoices to Bumper Man for processing for seven or more consecutive business days without prior approval from Bumper Man, it is considered an event of default.

This event of default allows Bumper Man to terminate the franchise agreement with the franchisee, provided they deliver a notice to the franchisee. This means that consistently submitting invoices in a timely manner is critical for a Bumper Man franchisee to remain in compliance with the franchise agreement and avoid potential termination.

It is important to note that the franchisee must obtain prior approval from Bumper Man if they anticipate being unable to submit invoices for processing for seven or more consecutive business days. This suggests that there may be circumstances where Bumper Man will grant exceptions, but these must be pre-approved. Therefore, maintaining open communication with Bumper Man is essential for addressing any potential issues with invoice submission.
