Are there any third-party beneficiaries intended or created by the Baymont Inn Suites agreement?

According to the 2025 Baymont Inn Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, under the section regarding RevIQ System Use Restrictions, Baymont Inn Suites identifies IDeaS, its third-party vendor, as a third-party beneficiary.

Specifically, the agreement states that IDeaS is a third-party beneficiary of the supplement related to the RevIQ system. This means that IDeaS has certain rights and protections under the franchise agreement, particularly concerning the franchisee's use of the RevIQ Products and Services.

The franchisee is responsible for indemnifying and holding harmless both Baymont Inn Suites and IDeaS for any liability or damages resulting from the franchisee's or its permitted users' violations of the RevIQ System Use Restrictions. This clause gives IDeaS the ability to directly enforce these provisions against the franchisee, as if it were a direct party to the agreement. This is a notable point for prospective franchisees, as it extends their liability beyond just Baymont Inn Suites to include its vendors.
