How is the size of the Initial Protected Territory determined for a Byrider franchise?

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial protected territory for a franchisee is defined as a radius of 2 miles surrounding the business location. This means that Byrider will not operate or grant a franchise to another business with a physical premise inside that 2-mile radius. However, this protection is not absolute.

Byrider retains certain rights within the Exclusive Development Area. They can establish, operate, or franchise businesses offering similar products or services under different trade names. Byrider can also use or license its marks outside the Exclusive Development Area. Furthermore, Byrider can acquire businesses providing similar services within the Exclusive Development Area and franchise or license them, regardless of their location. The company can also be acquired by another business in the same sector.

It's important to note that Byrider can modify the protected territory if the franchisee doesn't exercise their right of first refusal to acquire an additional franchise in the protected territory when Byrider decides to establish another business there due to demographic changes or other factors. This modification would occur as a condition of granting a successor franchise. This means that the franchisee's protected territory could shrink if they are unable or unwilling to expand their operations when Byrider sees an opportunity for another location nearby.
