What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Embassy Suites By Hilton Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the franchise agreement can be executed in counterparts. This means that each party can sign a separate copy of the addendum, and all the signed copies together will be considered one and the same agreement.
Furthermore, the document states that the delivery of these signed counterparts can be done via facsimile or other electronic transmission. This allows for a more efficient and faster execution process, as physical copies do not need to be mailed or hand-delivered. Each transmitted copy will be considered an original.
This flexibility in execution provides convenience for both Embassy Suites By Hilton and the franchisee, especially if the parties are geographically separated. It is a fairly standard practice in modern franchising to allow for electronic signatures and counterpart execution to expedite the agreement process.
