What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Byrider does not assume liability regarding the viability of any location selected, proposed, or approved by them.

Byrider may require the franchisee to submit site analyses, maps, completed checklists, photographs, digital or video motion pictures of the site and surrounding areas, copies of proposed leases, diagrams of the Business Location with measurements, a letter of intent, or other evidence of the franchisee's favorable prospects of obtaining the proposed location. The franchisee is responsible for finding a site acceptable to Byrider, utilizing their own resources, skills, and know-how, and following any requirements set forth by Byrider. The selection of the business location is subject to Byrider's prior written approval, whose reasonable determination in this regard is final.

Even though Byrider engages in site selection activities, provides suggestions, exercises its rights of approval, or exercises its right to lease said Business Location and sublease the same to the franchisee and to derive profit therefrom, these actions do not create any liability for Byrider regarding the viability of any location. These actions should not be construed as any express or implied representation, warranty, or guarantee by Byrider of the suitability for or viability, prospects, or profitability of any such location for a Byrider business. This means that ultimately, the franchisee bears the risk of the location's success, even if Byrider has been involved in the selection or approval process.
