What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee voluntarily or otherwise abandons the business by failing to operate it for three or more consecutive business days during the term of the agreement, Byrider has the right to terminate the agreement. This is unless the business has been closed for a purpose approved by Byrider.
This means that a Byrider franchisee must maintain consistent operation of the business. Failure to do so, without prior approval from Byrider, can result in the termination of the franchise agreement. The franchisee then has 30 days after written notice to cure the failure.
It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand the conditions under which Byrider can terminate the franchise agreement, as outlined in the FDD. Maintaining open communication with Byrider regarding any potential closures or operational changes is crucial to avoid potential breaches of the agreement.
