What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the right to obtain three additional, successive franchise terms of five years each, provided Byrider Franchising Partners is still licensing new franchises. If Byrider is still in the business of licensing new franchises, the franchisee has the right to obtain unlimited successive franchises of five-years each, as long as the franchisee continues to meet the qualifications and conditions for each renewal term.
To renew the franchise, the franchisee must request to obtain a successive franchise term, comply with the Franchise Agreement, fulfill their financial obligations to Byrider Franchising Partners, and execute the proper documents. The renewal process involves signing Byrider's then-current franchise agreement for a five-year successor franchise term, which may include materially different terms and fees.
This means that while Byrider franchisees have the option to renew their franchise agreement for additional terms, the terms of the renewed agreement could be different from the original agreement. These differences could include increased fees or other modified obligations. Therefore, franchisees should carefully review the new franchise agreement before signing to ensure they understand the updated terms and conditions.
