What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Byrider Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 20.9 of the Franchise Agreement, concerning the limitation of actions, is amended with specific stipulations depending on the franchisee's location.
For franchisees in Minnesota, the amendment adds that Minnesota law dictates that no action can be initiated under Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.17 more than three years after the cause of action accrues. This means a Byrider franchisee operating in Minnesota has a three-year window to bring a claim under that specific statute.
For franchisees in Maryland, the amendment adds a sentence stating that the franchisee must bring any claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law within three years after Byrider grants the franchise. This sets a three-year limitation for claims related to Maryland's franchise law.
