What subsections of Section 16.11 are deleted from 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 delete subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2 for franchisees in Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Virginia and Washington. This amendment is specified in addenda to the standard franchise agreement that apply to franchises offered and sold in those states.

Section 16.11 likely pertains to legal matters, and the deletion of subsections 16.11.1 and 16.11.2 suggests these specific clauses are either unenforceable or require modification under the franchise laws of these states. This could be due to conflicts with state regulations or statutes that protect franchisee rights.

Prospective Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisees should carefully review the addenda applicable to their state and consult with a legal professional to understand the implications of these deletions. It is important to understand how these changes affect their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement, particularly in relation to dispute resolution, liability, and compliance with state-specific franchise laws.
