Can the Baymont Inn Suites agreement be executed via facsimile or electronic signature?

According to the 2025 Baymont Inn Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This means that the Guaranty, which is part of the franchise agreement, can be signed in multiple copies, and all of those copies together will be considered as one single agreement.

This flexibility allows for easier execution when parties are in different locations, as each party can sign a separate copy and then all copies can be assembled to form the complete agreement. This is a common practice to streamline the signing process.

However, the FDD excerpt does not explicitly state whether Baymont Inn Suites permits the use of facsimile or electronic signatures for the franchise agreement or its related documents. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Baymont Inn Suites whether they accept these methods of signature to ensure compliance with their requirements.
