Which sections of the Bumper Man Franchise Agreement are deleted by the Maryland Addendum?

According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland Addendum deletes specific sections of the standard Franchise Agreement to comply with Maryland law. Specifically, Sections 26(d) and 26(e) of the Franchise Agreement are deleted entirely. This means that any provisions contained within those sections are no longer applicable to franchisees operating in Maryland.

In addition to the deletion of these sections, the Maryland Addendum also supplements other sections of the Franchise Agreement. Sections 3(b), 16(d), 18(a)(iv), 24(d), and 24(e) will have additional sentences added to them, modifying their original terms. Furthermore, a new Section 26(k) is added to the end of the Franchise Agreement, introducing additional stipulations.

Prospective Bumper Man franchisees in Maryland should carefully review the Maryland Addendum in conjunction with the Franchise Agreement to understand how their rights and obligations are modified under Maryland law. It is important to note that the addendum explicitly states that all other sections of the Franchise Agreement remain in effect, and will be construed and enforced according to their original terms, except as amended by the addendum.
