What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a franchisee needs to send a notice, approval, agreement, or other communication to IHG, it should be delivered in writing. The document specifies two acceptable methods for delivery: either in person, with the notice deemed given on the date of delivery, or via overnight express or registered/certified mail with return receipt requested, in which case the notice is considered delivered on the date of receipt.
The Even Hotels FDD indicates that such notices or communications to IHG should be sent to the address outlined in Section 11.9, which discusses the IHG Contracting Entity and Governing Law. However, the specific address details are not provided in the excerpt. The FDD also allows either party to update their notice address by providing written notification to the other party.
It is important for prospective Even Hotels franchisees to note that the exact address for sending official notices to IHG is not present in this excerpt. Franchisees should consult Section 11.9 of the Franchise Agreement, or request clarification from the franchisor to ensure all communications are sent to the correct location. Failure to send notices to the correct address could result in miscommunication or a delay in important business matters.
