What is an Atwell Suites franchisee's obligation regarding alterations to Sales Drafts?

According to Atwell Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have specific obligations regarding sales drafts. Specifically, each sales draft must be free of any alteration that the cardholder has not authorized. This requirement is part of a broader set of representations and warranties that the franchisee makes to Atwell Suites upon submitting each sales draft.

This means that an Atwell Suites franchisee must ensure that the amount charged is accurate and agreed upon by the cardholder at the time of the transaction. Any changes to the sales draft after the transaction, without the cardholder's explicit consent, would be a violation of the franchise agreement. This protects both the cardholder and Atwell Suites from fraudulent or disputed charges.

This requirement is standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to maintain the integrity of their brand and payment processing systems. By adhering to this requirement, Atwell Suites franchisees help ensure smooth transactions, minimize disputes, and uphold the brand's reputation for fair and transparent business practices.
