What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a licensee must include a specific copyright notice on all copies of the Licensed Documentation they create. This notice must state: "© Byrider Franchising Partners, LLC All rights reserved. Copies in whole or part may only be made by express written permission of the copyright owner." This requirement ensures that Byrider's intellectual property rights are protected and clearly communicated on any reproductions of their proprietary materials.
The copyright notice must be prominently displayed so that it is easily visible to anyone accessing the copies of the Licensed System or any part of it. This means the franchisee needs to ensure the notice is not hidden or obscured in any way. Furthermore, the franchisee is prohibited from removing, hiding, or disabling any of Byrider's original copyright notices on the Licensed System.
This requirement is a standard practice in franchising to protect the franchisor's intellectual property. By enforcing this, Byrider maintains control over its proprietary materials and prevents unauthorized use or distribution. The franchisee's compliance with this provision is essential for maintaining the integrity of the Byrider brand and its Licensed System.
