What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Licensed System consists of computer software programs designed for "buy-here-pay-here" automobile sales and collection management. These programs facilitate the creation of retail installment sales and security contracts using input data. They also enable the monitoring of receivables and collection productivity for the franchisee's automobile sales business. The Licensed System includes both software owned and licensed directly by Byrider (Licensor Software) and components provided by third parties and sublicensed by Byrider (Third Party Software).
In addition to the software, the Licensed System includes Licensed Documentation, such as end-user manuals, to aid in the software's utilization and understanding. The server portion of the Licensed Software is hosted by Byrider at its data processing facilities, referred to as the Hosting Facility. Byrider also developed Infrastructure Standards that permit approved access to the Licensed System.
For a prospective franchisee, understanding the scope and limitations of the Licensed System is crucial. The franchisee must use the Byrider technology system to operate their day-to-day business. They are also responsible for establishing adequate backup plans and implementing sufficient procedures for security and accuracy of input and output. Licensees must ensure the Licensed System fulfills their individual requirements and goals, as it is their sole responsibility. The components of the Licensed System may be changed from time to time at Byrider's sole discretion.
