What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites By Hilton's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Order Document becomes effective on the date identified by Hilton Systems Solutions, LLC (HSS) under the signature blocks, referred to as the "Order Effective Date." This date is established when the Order Document is signed by both parties, at which point it is automatically incorporated into and becomes part of the Information Technology System Agreement.
This means that the franchisee is bound by the terms of the Order Document once HSS has signed and identified the effective date. The franchisee should pay close attention to this date, as it marks the beginning of their obligations under the Order Document and its integration into the broader Information Technology System Agreement.
Prospective Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisees should ensure they fully understand all terms and conditions within both the Order Document and the overarching Information Technology System Agreement before signing. Paying particular attention to the "Order Effective Date" will help the franchisee track their responsibilities and deadlines from the outset.
