What article of the Byrider Franchise Agreement discusses 'Retention of Rights'?

According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, Article II, section 2.5 of the franchise agreement outlines the company's rights. Specifically, it states that Byrider retains certain rights to own and operate Byrider businesses, franchise other Byrider businesses, and use the System, Marks, know-how, techniques, and procedures.

This section clarifies that while franchisees are granted rights to operate under the Byrider system, Byrider maintains control over its brand and operational methods. This is a standard practice in franchising, allowing the franchisor to ensure consistency and protect the brand's integrity across all locations.

For a prospective franchisee, this means understanding that Byrider retains significant authority over the brand and system. While franchisees have the right to operate their specific location, Byrider can still operate its own locations or grant franchises to others, potentially even in the same market, and continue using and developing its established system. Franchisees should fully understand these retained rights to assess any potential impact on their business.
