2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 32 - Time-Share Programs and Vacation Clubs|Part 2 - Vacation Club Act of 1995|§ 66-32-206. Reservation Systems

  A vacation club's reservation system shall be subject to the requirements for subordination or other financial assurances set forth in this part. Prior to offering vacation club interests, a developer shall create or provide a reservation system, including all appropriate computer hardware and software which is necessary to satisfy owners' reasonable expectations concerning the use and occupancy of the vacation club's accommodations, based upon the developer's representations and the terms and conditions of the vacation club documents, and establish rules and regulations for its operation. In establishing such rules and regulations, the developer shall take into account the anticipated demand for use and occupancy of the vacation club's accommodations in view of the size and type of each accommodation, each component site location, the time of year, the projected common expenses of the vacation club from year to year, and all other relevant factors, and shall use its good faith and best efforts, based upon all evidence reasonably available to the developer under the circumstances, to maximize the collective opportunities for all of the owners of vacation club interests to use and occupy the vacation club's accommodations.    The person or persons authorized by the vacation club documents to make additions or substitutions of accommodations to the vacation club, pursuant to this part, shall owe a fiduciary duty to each owner of a vacation club interest to act in the collective best interests of all such owners in connection with any such addition or substitution and to adhere to the demand balancing standard set forth above in ascertaining the desirability of any proposed addition or substitution and the anticipated impact thereof upon the practical ability of owners to reserve, use, and occupy the vacation club's accommodations.   Prior to offering any vacation club interest in a vacation club, a developer shall provide to the commission satisfactory evidence of the existence of the vacation club's reservation system and shall certify to the commission that such reservation system is fully operative.   Any agreement between a vacation club and a reservation system provider must state that, following a termination of the provider's contract by either party, the reservation system provider will, in the vacation club managing entity's sole discretion, either:  Permit the vacation club to utilize the reservation system for a transition period of up to nine (9) months in the same manner and at the same cost as the vacation club utilized the reservation system prior to the termination in order to afford the vacation club managing entity a reasonable opportunity to obtain a new reservation system and arrange for the transfer of all relevant data from the old reservation system to the new reservation system as described in subdivision (b)(3)(B); or   Promptly transfer to the vacation club managing entity all relevant data contained in the reservation system, including but not limited to the names, addresses, and reservation status of accommodations at the vacation club's component sites, the names and addresses of all owners, all outstanding confirmed reservations and reservation requests, and such other owner and component site records and information as is sufficient, in the reasonable discretion of the vacation club managing entity, to permit the uninterrupted operation and administration of the vacation club for the collective benefit of owners of vacation club interests therein. All reasonable costs incurred by the reservation system provider in effecting such transfer shall be reimbursed thereto and shall constitute common expenses of the vacation club.
