§ 34-41-4.06. Purchaser’s right to cancel.
(a) A purchaser has the right to cancel the contract until midnight of the fifth (5th) business day (specifically excluding therefrom Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays) following whichever of the following days occurs later:
(i) The execution date; or
(ii) The day on which the purchaser received the last of all documents required to be provided to him or her.
This right of cancellation may not be waived by any purchaser or by any other person on behalf of the purchaser. Furthermore, no closing may occur until the cancellation period of the time-share purchaser has expired. Any attempt to obtain a waiver of the cancellation right of the time-share purchaser, or to hold a closing prior to the expiration of the cancellation period, is unlawful and such closing is voidable at the option of the purchaser for a period of one (1) year after the expiration of the cancellation period.
(b) Any notice of cancellation shall be considered given on the date postmarked if mailed, or when transmitted from the place or origin if telegraphed, so long as the notice is actually received by the developer or escrow agent. If given by means of a writing transmitted other than by mail or telegraph, the notice of cancellation shall be considered given at the time of delivery at the place of business of the developer.
(c) In the event of a timely preclosing cancellation, the developer shall honor the right of any purchaser to cancel the contract which granted the time-share purchaser rights in and to the plan. Upon such cancellation, the developer shall refund to the purchaser the total amount of all payments made by the purchaser under the contract, reduced by the proportion of any contract benefits the purchaser has actually received under the contract prior to the effective date of the cancellation. Such refund shall be made within twenty (20) days of demand therefore by the purchaser or within five (5) days after receipt of funds from the purchaser’s cleared check, whichever is later.
