What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, if a capitalized term is not defined in the Byrider Veteran Discount Addendum, its meaning can be found in the Franchise Agreement. This is explicitly stated to avoid confusion and ensure consistency across all agreements.
This means that prospective franchisees need to be familiar with both the Addendum and the Franchise Agreement to fully understand their rights and obligations. The Addendum modifies specific terms of the Franchise Agreement, but the Franchise Agreement remains the primary governing document.
For example, if the Veteran Discount Addendum refers to a "Protected Territory" without defining it, the franchisee must refer back to the Franchise Agreement to find the definition. This highlights the importance of carefully reviewing all documents and understanding how they interrelate before signing any franchise agreement.
