What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Washington Addendum is an integral part of, and modifies, the franchise agreement and all related agreements. This addendum applies under the following conditions:
First, the offer to sell a Baymont Inn Suites franchise is accepted in Washington. Second, the purchaser of the Baymont Inn Suites franchise is a resident of Washington. Finally, the franchised business that is the subject of the sale is to be located or operated, wholly or partly, in Washington.
For a prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisee, this means that if any of these three conditions are met, the Washington Addendum will be incorporated into their franchise agreement, potentially altering the terms and conditions of the agreement to comply with Washington state law. It is important for franchisees to carefully review the addendum to understand their rights and obligations under Washington law.
