What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) can unilaterally modify or add to any component of the Supplemental Terms related to technology services. However, IHG must provide the Even Hotels franchisee with ten days' written notice before making such changes.
The Supplemental Terms are based, in part, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Enabling Agreements IHG has with its service providers. This means that changes to those underlying agreements can trigger modifications to the Supplemental Terms that affect franchisees.
This clause gives IHG considerable latitude to adapt technology requirements and service offerings. For a prospective Even Hotels franchisee, this means they need to stay informed about potential technology changes and budget for them. While IHG must provide notice, the franchisee has limited recourse to prevent these modifications, highlighting the importance of understanding the technology landscape and its associated costs when investing in an Even Hotels franchise.
