What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement contains a severability clause. This means that if any part of the agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the provision should be narrowed to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
If the portion of the agreement cannot be narrowed to become valid, the remaining parts of the agreement will still be considered in full effect and binding upon both parties. This ensures that as much of the original agreement as possible remains intact and enforceable.
This type of clause is standard in franchise agreements to protect the overall contract from being voided entirely due to a single unenforceable provision. Prospective Byrider franchisees should understand that while some terms might be adjusted or removed, the core obligations and rights within the agreement will likely remain.
