In a Byrider franchise, how is notice or demand handled when there is more than one franchisee?

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if more than one person or entity is listed as a franchisee in the franchise agreement, any notice or demand given to just one of the franchisees is considered as if it were given to all of them. This means that Byrider does not have to individually notify each franchisee if there are multiple parties involved.

This clause creates a significant responsibility for each franchisee to keep the others informed. If Byrider sends a notice of default to one franchisee, all franchisees are immediately responsible, regardless of whether they were directly informed. This could lead to complications if the franchisees have disputes or communication issues among themselves.

Joint and several liability, as mentioned elsewhere in the FDD, reinforces this concept. Each franchisee is fully responsible for all obligations, so Byrider can pursue any one or all of them for any debt or breach of contract. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the implications of this arrangement, especially when partnering with others, and ensure clear communication channels are established to avoid potential misunderstandings or liabilities.
