Regarding the Virginia Addendum to the Embassy Suites Franchise Agreement, what specific subsections are deleted from Section 16.11?

According to the 2025 Embassy Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, the Virginia Addendum to the Franchise Agreement amends Section 16.11 by deleting subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2. This means that any provisions contained within those specific subsections of Section 16.11 in the standard Franchise Agreement will not apply to Embassy Suites franchises operating in Virginia.

Prospective franchisees in Virginia should carefully review Section 16.11 of the Franchise Agreement to understand what those subsections cover. Because the FDD excerpt does not specify the content of these subsections, it is important to determine what rights or obligations are being removed by this deletion. Understanding the content of these subsections is crucial for assessing the overall impact of the Virginia Addendum on the franchisee's rights and responsibilities.

It is common for franchise agreements to be modified by state-specific addenda to comply with local laws and regulations. These addenda can alter various aspects of the agreement, and franchisees must understand these changes to ensure compliance and protect their interests. Franchisees should consult with a legal professional to fully understand the implications of these deletions and how they may affect their franchise operations in Virginia.
