What are the conditions for Byrider Franchising Partners to indemnify me against claims?

According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, Byrider Franchising Partners will indemnify franchisees against certain claims and actual costs under specific conditions. This indemnification applies to costs associated with defending or participating in a suit or proceeding that arises from the franchisee's authorized use of Byrider's Marks. It also extends to claims resulting from Byrider Franchising Partners' gross negligence or willful misconduct, or from any mandatory specification, standard, or procedure in the Manual that is determined to be unlawful.
