Coverage must also include $1,000,000 for Hired Autos and Non-Owned Autos liability. Coverage must also include a Broadened Garage endorsement for Personal and Advertising liability. Franchisee shall insure the Company against all claims, suits, obligations, liabilities and damages, including attorneys' fees, based upon or arising out of the actual or alleged personal injuries or property damage resulting from or occurring in the course of, or on or about or otherwise relating to the business or the Business Location, provided that the required amounts herein may be modified from time to time by the Company to reflect inflation or further experience with claims;

If the Franchisee fails to purchase insurance conforming to the standards and limits prescribed by the Company, the Company may (but is not required to) obtain, through agents and insurance companies of its choosing, the minimum amount of insurance specified in Subsections 12.1.A.(1) through (5). Payments for such insurance shall be borne by the Franchisee and the Franchisee expressly agrees to forthwith pay the required premiums or to reimburse the Company therefor. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or deemed to impose any duty or obligation upon the Company to obtain or maintain any specific forms, kinds or amounts of insurance for or on behalf of the Franchisee.
  • 12.3 Disclaimer. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or considered an undertaking or representation by the Company that such insurance and bondings as may be required to be obtained by the Franchisee, or by the Company for the Franchisee, will insure the Franchisee against any or all insurable risks of loss which may or can arise out of or in connection with the operation of the Franchisee's Business.

All insurance policies and documents shall be renewed, and upon such renewal, a renewal Certificate of Insurance shall be furnished to the Company prior to the expiration date of the existing term(s) of such policy(ies).
  • 12.5 Notice of Claims.

The Franchisee shall, when necessary, make appearances at administrative or other hearings to present or reinforce such defenses.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, the topic of required insurance is discussed on multiple pages. Specifically, the insurance requirements are mentioned on what appears to be page 122 and 123, judging by the file names '' and ''.

The FDD outlines the minimum standards and limits for insurance coverage that Byrider requires franchisees to maintain throughout the term of the franchise agreement. This includes Garage Liability insurance with a $1,000,000 limit per occurrence, State Required Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance, Unemployment Insurance, Truth-in-Lending Act Insurance of not less than $300,000, All risks coverage insurance on the Business Location, and Cyber Liability Insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

Furthermore, Byrider requires that the franchisee's insurance policies name the company and its affiliates as additional insureds and provide indemnity for all obligations assumed by the franchisee. The FDD also states that failure to maintain the required insurance constitutes a material breach of the agreement, potentially leading to termination of the franchise. However, the franchisee has the right to cure such default within ten days of notification from their insurance company that the insurance has lapsed.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review these insurance requirements and associated costs to fully understand their financial obligations and the potential consequences of non-compliance. It is also recommended, but not required, that franchisees purchase an Umbrella policy in the amount of $1,000,000 over and above all liability coverage, as well as vehicle Title Errors and Omissions Coverage, Federal Odometer Coverage, Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Deceptive Sales Practices Coverage in the amount of $1,000,000.
