What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit B contains the ADA Certification Form for New Construction (Post-Construction). This form requires a signature from the general contractor, the architect of record, or a consulting architect hired for the certification. If the franchisee cannot obtain the signature of the contractor or an architect, the franchisee must sign the Franchisee's Certification of Compliance on the signature page of the Certification.
Baymont Inn Suites requires this certification to ensure that the Facility's plans and specifications comply with the design requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Department of Justice Standards for Accessible Design (ADA Standards). The franchisee must submit the completed Certification before Baymont Inn Suites authorizes the opening of the Facility. If the Certification is not properly completed, Baymont Inn Suites will return it to the franchisee with a written notice, and the opening of the Facility will be delayed until a properly completed Certification is received.
Submitting a false or fraudulent Certification can lead to termination of the Franchise Agreement. Baymont Inn Suites may also delay the Opening Date until the properly completed Certification is submitted. However, Baymont Inn Suites is not liable if the Certification is improperly completed or if the Facility is not built or operated in compliance with ADA. This places the onus on the franchisee to ensure full compliance with ADA regulations during construction and operation.
