Under what conditions do the additional disclosures in the Hyatt Franchising, L.L.C. Multi-state Franchise Disclosure Document for The Standardx hotels not apply?

According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the additional state-specific disclosures to the Hyatt Franchising, L.L.C. Multi-state Franchise Disclosure Document for The Standardx hotels will not apply unless the jurisdictional requirements of the applicable state franchise registration and disclosure law are met independently, without reference to these additional disclosures. This means that for each specific provision within the additional disclosures to be effective, the requirements of the relevant state's franchise law must be satisfied on their own, irrespective of the additional disclosures themselves.

In simpler terms, The Standardx franchisee cannot rely on the fact that a disclosure is included in the additional state-specific section to automatically trigger the application of that state's franchise law. The conditions that would cause that state's franchise law to apply must be met regardless of whether the additional disclosure exists. This ensures that the additional disclosures are only relevant when the underlying legal requirements of the specific state are already independently satisfied.

For a prospective The Standardx franchisee, this implies that they need to be fully aware of the franchise laws in their specific state and understand when those laws are triggered. The additional disclosures are supplementary and do not create new obligations or requirements on their own. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to determine the applicability of state franchise laws to their specific situation, rather than assuming that the presence of an additional disclosure automatically invokes those laws.
