United States of America v. Hilton Worldwide Inc. - Consent Decree

(c) When one of the events in the first sentence of Paragraph 16(a) occurs between the Effective Date and four years after the Effective Date, HWI will require the hotel owner to complete the Survey Instrument and to document conditions with photographs where indicated by the Survey Instrument within thirty (30) days of receiving a notice from HWI of a need for a survey (the “Survey Notice”). HWI will not be required to send Survey Notices to any hotel owners until the Survey Instrument and Survey Video have been created and approved. HWI will send a copy of the Survey Notice to the ADA Consultant at the same time that it is sent to the hotel owner. The hotel owner shall be required to send, within 90 days of receiving the Survey Notice, copies of the completed and signed Survey Instrument and photographs to the ADA Consultant, who shall review it for completeness. At the same time, the hotel owner shall be required to send to the ADA Consultant the information required in subparagraph 16(f) below. A hotel owner may apply to the ADA Consultant for a thirty (30) day extension of time to submit the Survey Instrument and photographs for good cause. The ADA Consultant may grant only one extension. The ADA Consultant shall document all requests for extensions and whether they were granted or denied. If a hotel owner fails to timely submit to the ADA Consultant the documents set forth in this subparagraph 16(c), the ADA Consultant shall notify the hotel owner within ten (10) days so that the hotel owner can take corrective action within twenty (20) days from the date of the notice. The ADA Consultant will provide HWI with a copy of the notice at the same time as it is sent to the hotel owner. If, at the expiration of twenty (20) days, the ADA Consultant determines that the hotel owner has not submitted the documents required under this subparagraph 16(c), the ADA Consultant shall notify the hotel owner and the Parties to this Consent Decree in writing and shall provide supporting documentation to the Parties if either of them requests it.
