What specific subsections are deleted from Section 16.11 of the Embassy Suites Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Embassy Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 16.11 of the Franchise Agreement is amended to remove subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2. This change is specified in addenda to the Franchise Agreement for franchisees in Maryland, New York, and Virginia.

This deletion means that franchisees operating in Maryland, New York, and Virginia will not be subject to the provisions outlined in subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2 of the standard Embassy Suites Franchise Agreement. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the content of these subsections in the original agreement and how their removal might affect their rights and obligations.

Since the specific content of subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2 is not provided in the excerpt, it is essential for potential franchisees to review the full Franchise Agreement and any related addenda carefully. They should also seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of these deletions and how they might impact their franchise operations, particularly in the context of state-specific franchise laws.
