What must I do to be indemnified and held harmless by Byrider Franchising Partners?

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Byrider Franchising Partners outlines specific conditions under which it will indemnify a franchisee. Byrider will provide indemnification against claims and actual costs related to defending or participating in a lawsuit if the suit arises from the franchisee's authorized use of Byrider's Marks, or from Byrider Franchising Partners' gross negligence or willful misconduct, or from any mandatory specification, standard, or procedure in the Manual that is determined to be unlawful.

To be eligible for indemnification and to be held harmless, a Byrider franchisee must provide Byrider Franchising Partners with timely notice of any pending suits or proceedings as described above. Additionally, the franchisee must be in full compliance with the Franchise Agreement at the time of the suit or proceeding.

Byrider Franchising Partners retains the right to participate in and control the suit, proceeding, or litigation to the extent it deems necessary. This means that while Byrider may cover certain costs and claims, they also have the authority to manage the legal defense and strategy.
