Is a Crowne Plaza licensee permitted to transmit Curated Solutions to a third-party network?

According to the 2025 Crowne Plaza FDD, a licensee is explicitly restricted from transmitting Curated Solutions to any third party or third-party network. The FDD outlines several restrictions on the use of Curated Solutions, emphasizing that they are intended solely for the licensee's internal business purposes at the hotel.

Specifically, the agreement prohibits the licensee from allowing any third party to access or use the Curated Solutions. This restriction is part of a broader set of limitations designed to protect the integrity, security, and proprietary nature of the Curated Solutions. These limitations also prevent the licensee from using the solutions in service bureau arrangements, copying or sublicensing the solutions, creating derivative works, or attempting to reverse engineer the software.

These terms and conditions apply to all Curated Solutions, both individually and as a collective group. This ensures that the licensee understands the scope of these restrictions and the importance of adhering to them. Prospective Crowne Plaza franchisees should carefully review these restrictions to ensure they can comply with the terms of the franchise agreement and avoid potential breaches or disputes with IHG.
