What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, certain obligations within the AT&T agreement survive its termination or expiration. Specifically, the obligations related to Confidential Information (Section 5), Limitations of Liability and Disclaimers (Section 6), and Third-Party Claims (Section 7) will continue even after the agreement ends.
This means that even after the franchise agreement with Even Hotels concludes, the franchisee remains bound by the terms outlined in those sections. For example, any confidential information obtained during the agreement period must still be protected, and the limitations on liability will continue to apply. Similarly, any potential third-party claims related to the period when the agreement was active will still be subject to the conditions specified in Section 7.
This survival clause is a standard practice in franchise agreements to ensure that certain critical protections and responsibilities extend beyond the agreement's active term. It provides clarity and security for both Even Hotels and the franchisee regarding ongoing obligations related to confidential data, liabilities, and potential claims. Franchisees should carefully review these sections to understand their enduring responsibilities and rights.
