What sections are deleted from section 16.11 in the Embassy Suites By Hilton Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Embassy Suites By Hilton Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 16.11 of the franchise agreement is amended to remove subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2. This amendment applies specifically to franchisees in Illinois, Maryland, and Virginia, as indicated in the addenda to the franchise agreement for these states.

For a prospective Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisee, this means that certain provisions originally included in subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2 of the standard franchise agreement will not be applicable if the franchise is located in Illinois, Maryland, or Virginia. Section 16.11 likely pertains to legal matters, and the removal of these subsections suggests that specific legal clauses are being altered or removed to comply with state-specific laws or regulations.

It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review the full text of Section 16.11 in the franchise agreement, along with any related addenda, to understand the exact nature of the deleted subsections and their implications. Franchisees should also seek legal counsel to ensure they fully understand their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement, particularly in light of these state-specific amendments.
