Regarding Atwell Suites licensing, what express consent and irrevocable confirmation must the Licensee secure from its Affiliates and their owners, members, partners, officers, directors, or managers who do not execute the License?

According to the 2025 Atwell Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, the licensee must obtain express consent and irrevocable confirmation of the provisions under the license from each of its affiliates and the owners, members, partners, officers, directors, or managers of the licensee and its affiliates who do not execute the license. This consent and confirmation is required without limitation, and includes paragraph 13.B of the license agreement.

This requirement ensures that all related parties are aware of and agree to the terms of the franchise agreement, even if they are not direct signatories. This is a common practice in franchising to prevent disputes or legal challenges arising from affiliates or related parties claiming they were unaware of the obligations and restrictions of the franchise agreement.

For a prospective Atwell Suites franchisee, this means carefully identifying all affiliates and related parties and securing their written consent and confirmation before finalizing the franchise agreement. Failure to do so could potentially lead to breaches of the agreement or legal complications down the line. It is important to consult with legal counsel to ensure that the consent and confirmation are properly documented and enforceable.
