What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the license offering includes an IHG Wi-Fi Connect Agreement. Specifically, Exhibit G-6 lists the 'Form IHG Wi-Fi Connect Agreement' as one of the ancillary agreements associated with the franchise. This indicates that as a franchisee, you will be required to enter into an agreement with IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) to provide Wi-Fi connectivity services at your Even Hotels location.
The inclusion of the IHG Wi-Fi Connect Agreement means that Even Hotels franchisees must adhere to IHG's standards and protocols for providing Wi-Fi services. This likely includes specific requirements for bandwidth, security, and customer support related to the Wi-Fi network. It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully review the terms of the IHG Wi-Fi Connect Agreement to understand their obligations and any associated costs.
As the agreement is listed as a 'Form' agreement, it is advisable to carefully review the agreement to understand the obligations, costs, and service level requirements. It is also important to understand how this agreement integrates with other technology and service agreements listed, such as the Oracle New Account Setup Form and the AT&T Participation Agreement, to ensure seamless operation of the hotel's technology infrastructure.
