What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, the purpose of the addendum to the franchise agreement varies depending on the specific addendum. Several addenda address compliance with state franchise laws. For example, there are addenda pursuant to the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act, the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, and the Minnesota Franchise Investment Law. These addenda modify the franchise agreement to ensure compliance with specific state regulations, particularly concerning jurisdiction, waivers, and franchisee rights.
Another addendum outlines the terms and conditions for a Certified Technician to operate a Bumper Man business. This addendum allows a franchisee to retain a certified technician to perform services within a designated area, potentially increasing the number of customers serviced. The addendum specifies conditions for approval, including the franchisee being in good standing with Bumper Man and the technician meeting certain qualifications.
In general, these addenda serve to amend the original franchise agreement, tailoring it to specific circumstances such as state laws or the use of certified technicians. Unless specifically amended by an addendum, the original terms of the Bumper Man Franchise Agreement remain in effect.
