2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§1131.13. Cancellation

RS 1131.13 - Cancellation A. Any purchase contract entered into by and between a developer and a purchaser or any purchase contract utilized pursuant to R.S. 9:1131.10.1 and 1131.18 shall be voidable by either party to the purchase contract, without penalty, within seven calendar days after the receipt of the public offering statement from the developer or the execution of the purchase contract, whichever is later. The purchase contract shall provide notice of the seven-day cancellation period together with the name and mailing address to which any notice of cancellation shall be delivered. If either party elects to cancel a purchase contract pursuant to this Section, either party must do so not later than midnight of the seventh calendar day after the receipt of the public offering statement from the developer or the execution of the purchase contract, whichever is later, by hand delivering a written notice of cancellation or by mailing notice of cancellation by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the other party at an address so noted in the purchase contract. Upon such cancellation, the party holding the funds shall refund to the purchaser all payments made by the purchaser less the amount of any benefits actually received pursuant to the purchase agreement. Such refund shall be made within thirty calendar days after receipt of the notice of cancellation, or receipt of funds from the purchaser's cleared check, whichever occurs later. B. This right of cancellation may not be waived by any purchaser or by any other person on behalf of the purchaser. However, nothing in this Section precludes the execution of documents in advance for delivery after expiration of the cancellation period. C. Any notice of cancellation shall be considered given on the date postmarked if mailed, or when transmitted from the place or origin if telegraphed. If given by means of writing transmitted other than by mail or telegraph, the notice of cancellation shall be considered given at the time of actual or constructive delivery to the developer. D. In the event of a timely cancellation, or in the event the plan is a lease timeshare and at any time the accommodations or facilities are no longer available, the developer shall honor the right of any purchaser to cancel the contract which granted the timeshare purchaser rights in and to the plan. Upon such cancellation, the developer shall refund to the purchaser all payments made by the purchaser which exceed the proportionate amount of benefits made available under the plan, using the number of years of the proposed plan as the base. E. Upon proper cancellation, the developer shall make a full refund to the purchaser of all monies paid and shall return for cancellation all instruments signed by the purchaser. The refund and return of instruments shall be within thirty days after receipt of the notice of cancellation or after receipt by the developer of notice that the purchaser's check has cleared, whichever is later. In no event shall the refund be made later than sixty days after receipt of notice of cancellation from the purchaser. The cancellation provisions of this Section shall not be waivable. F.
