Read on to find out some of the most important features of New York timeshare foreclosure and contract law.
Right to Cancel a Timeshare in New York
In New York, if you buy a timeshare and want to cancel the contract, you can do so within seven business days of signing the contract. This right of cancellation may not be waived. (13 CRR-NY § 24.3.)
Canceling Timeshares Located Outside of New York
New York law regulates any timeshare transaction that takes place in New York, even if the timeshare is out of state. If the law of the jurisdiction in which the timeshare property is located requires that the timeshare company provide you with a cancellation period longer than seven business days from the date of the contract signing, the longer time period applies (13 CRR-NY § 24.3).
How to Cancel a New York Timeshare Contract
If you want to cancel the purchase contract, you must mail a written notice of cancellation, postmarked within seven business days (or other applicable time period) of the date on which the contract was signed, to the sponsor or selling agent at the address indicated on the cover of the timeshare offering plan. If you do this, the seller must refund all payments within 30 days after it receives the cancellation. (13 CRR-NY § 24.3.)
Timeshare Public Offering Plan
The seller of a timeshare must provide the buyer with a contract that includes all of the specific details of the transaction (called a public offering plan), which also must be registered in the state. The public offering plan consists of a very detailed history of the project that contains important matters to consider when buying a timeshare interest, including (among other things):
an explanation of the basis for the allocation of shares or interests in common elements
the declaration of covenants and restrictions.
In New York, timeshare advertisements must contain the following statements: “This advertisement is being used for the purpose of soliciting timeshare sales” and “The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from sponsor.” These statements must be included in, but are not limited to:
radio/television ads (13 CRR-NY § 24.6).
