We may approve a request if the property that was listed was sold or the contract with the owner was cancelled and the Seller provides sufficient proof thereof and completes any additional request forms we may request. The term of the subscription for any substituted property shall be the same as the term of the originally advertised property (i.e., the term will not be extended past the original term).
If a Seller submits changes to an existing advertisement that, if approved, would substantially alter the advertisement to make it that of another property, then we have the right to terminate the advertisement and may choose, in our sole discretion, to retain any fees associated with the term of the previously existing advertisement as compensation for the violation of this condition.
(ii) The advertisement specifically cannot be a mere example of properties in a given area. Only one property can appear on each advertisement, unless it is a property with multiple units on the same Website and additional advertising units are purchased. We reserve the right to amend the copy or remove any advertisement when more than one property is described in such advertisement, and may choose, in our sole discretion to retain any fees associated with the initial term of such non-conforming listing as compensation for the violation of this condition.
UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENT METHODS; SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS
We are not a party to any payment transaction between Sellers and Buyers. No Seller may request any Buyer to mail cash, or utilize any instant-cash wire transfer service such as PayPal, Western Union or MoneyGram in payment for all or part of a transaction. Any violation of this term or any other unacceptable payment methods that may be posted on the Website may result in the immediate removal of the non-conforming advertisement from the Website without notice to the Seller and without refund. From time to time, we may become aware of Users attempting to conduct a transaction that would involve an unauthorized payment method or a fraudulent payment method. Ideally, we hope to be able to assist Users in avoiding such transactions, but we assume no liability or responsibility to do so or to inform users of any such actual or suspected activity. To the extent we accept funds and remit them, the Subscriber agrees to be responsible for additional service fees commensurate with the costs of accepting said funds, including credit card processing fees and/or bank fees.
Payment for subscriptions must be made to us in U.S. Dollars paid either by major credit or debit card, or when automation is available, an ACH check drawn on a U.S. bank.
SUBSCRIPTION TERM, REFUND REQUESTS, AND TERMINATION OR TRANSFER OF ADVERTISEMENTS
Subscription Term
The Company reserves the right to charge a subscription fee to any Seller. No subscription fee shall be due from Seller the first year the Seller submits a vacation property from an affiliated site if the subscription expressly includes access to the Company.
Refund Requests
Generally, no refunds are available unless a Seller qualifies for a refund under any guarantee program we may have in effect. If you believe you qualify for a refund under a guarantee we are offering, you may contact customer support and include your customer number and reason for dissatisfaction. We will then determine, in accordance with the applicable guarantee program, whether any refund is due.
Refund Requests for Advertisement Not Completed
In the event you purchase a subscription for an advertisement but do not complete the creation of the advertisement or the advertisement does not get posted after purchase for any other reason, refund requests will be considered only during the first three (3) days following the purchase date. If within such three (3) day period you do not complete the creation of your advertisement as we may require to display such advertisement on the Website (i) you shall not be entitled to any refund and (ii) your subscription will expire no more than 12 months from the purchase date of the subscription regardless of the advertisement posting date.
If you renew your subscription, or if your subscription automatically renews under its terms of your subscription, your advertisement will remain online for the entire subscription period without refund. If you sell your property and no longer wish for the advertisement to remain online, please contact us and we can remove the advertisement; however, no refund will be owed.
Termination
An Agreement may be terminated immediately and without notice (i) if the other party materially defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations under these Terms and/or the underlying Agreement and does not cure the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice in writing from the non-defaulting party or thirty (30) days prior to the Arrival Date, whichever occurs first; (ii) if the other party commences insolvency, receivership, or bankruptcy proceeding or any other proceedings for the settlement of its debts, which are not dismissed or otherwise resolved in its favor within 60 days thereafter; (iii) if the other party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) if the other party dissolves or ceases to conduct business in the ordinary course.
Our Right to Terminate an Advertisement
If, in our sole discretion, any Seller submits unsuitable material to our Website or into our database, misuses the Website or our online system or is in material breach of these Terms, we reserve the right to terminate such Seller’s subscription(s) immediately without refund. In addition, if we become aware of or receive a complaint or a series of complaints from any User or other third party regarding a Seller’s advertisement or practices that, in our sole discretion, warrants the immediate removal of such Seller’s advertisement from the Website (for example, and without limitation, if a Seller double-books a property for multiple guests or itself on the same date, or engages in any practice that, in our sole discretion, would be considered unfair or improper within the vacation industry, or if we receive a complaint that any advertisement’s content infringes on the rights of a third party), then we may immediately terminate such Seller’s subscription(s) without notice to the Seller and without refund. We assume no duty to investigate complaints. Finally, if any Seller is abusive or offensive to any employee or representative of the Company, we reserve the right to terminate such Seller’s subscription(s) immediately without refund. Finally, if any Seller is in breach of these Terms or its obligations to us then we may terminate such Seller’s subscription(s) immediately without notice to the Seller and without refund.
Transfer of Advertisement
No advertisement may be transferred to another party. In the event of a property sale, the Company will provide guidance to both parties regarding options for creating a new advertisement.

DISCLOSURES
Under some state law, including Florida, language exists that we believe does not apply to us but, in an abundance of caution, we choose to voluntarily provide the requested disclosures, but do not guarantee that we will provide such disclosures in the future. Although we provide advertisements on our Website with your subscription, the Company may be deemed to operate within the timeshare resale marketplace. Through various advertising partnerships, the Website provides its Users with, among other things, a web-based network for timeshare buyers, sellers, and users. The Company does not itself engage in real estate broker or transfer services on your behalf or anyone else. Inquiries and communications are between the Seller and the inquiring party directly. The Company does not negotiate on behalf of Sellers or Buyers. The Company can refer you to a licensed real estate broker or attorney to provide whatever real estate brokerage or legal services are necessary upon request. You authorize all inquiries/communications regarding a particular property to be submitted to an affiliated or unaffiliated licensed real estate brokerage/agent (“Professional”) by the Company and that Professional may contact the User, the inquiring party, and/or any third party and attempt to consummate a transaction. The Company and broker/agent shall not be liable if an inquiry is not forwarded or does not result in sale/use or results in sale or use of a different property. Users and inquirers are encouraged to reply timely to communication in order to reduce risk of a lost transaction. The terms of any agreement between a real estate broker/agent and you are not endorsed or recommended by the Company. Additional fees beyond the Company subscription may apply such as transaction fees, broker commissions, and/or closing costs charged to either the buyer and/or seller based upon the terms of a purchase and sale contract. Market conditions fluctuate and influence every transaction. The Company does not guarantee that a property can be used or sold at any particular price or within any particular period of time. Due to privacy concerns, direct contact information for Buyers or Sellers is not available on the Website.

The Company does not go to your resort to show your property. All our services are provided online. We have not promised you, the Seller, that your timeshare will sell within any specific period of time. In the event you enter into an agreement with the Company or its affiliates, the terms of that agreement will supersede the Terms of Use.
The Company utilizes various advertising techniques, media and internet optimizations to attract buyers/renters to the Website or invite them to contact us directly for information. We do not specifically advertise your Timeshare at any timeshare resort or make visits to any timeshare resort as part of our services. Your Timeshare is presented through the Website only.

We recommend that you use a licensed bonded title company to perform the closing of any contract and urge you to call us for a recommendation. Furthermore, you understand that most Buyers make inquiries on multiple timeshares and that we forward all inquiries to every Seller, and that it is your responsibility to respond in a timely manner, and that we have no control over which timeshare or from which Seller a Buyer chooses. Repeated failure to respond to Buyer inquiries may result in the FSBO advertisement being made inactive at the sole discretion of the Company.

They will assist you to negotiate the sale/rental of your Timeshare without further involvement of the Company. You give us permission and have the specific intent when providing us contact information for us to provide that information to Timeshare Broker Services in order to contact you.

TRIAL USE
TRAVELERS
If you choose to request an Inspection Privilege for an Owner’s timeshare, you agree that you understand the different options available to you as a Traveler and you have decided to use our assisted booking service as outlined in the Assisted Inspection Use Traveler Agreement (“Traveler Agreement”). You have decided to use this service because of the advantages that a trial use of a timeshare property (including both deeded and right to use products) (“Timeshare”) that is currently owned by someone who wants to make their Timeshare available for purchase and allowing you as Traveler considering the purchase and advantages of timeshares in general to evaluate the property for purchase. By signing the Traveler Agreement you will agree to the terms on this page that are applicable to you, specifically, and without limitation, the provisions under All Users, Buyers, Travelers Disclaimer No Warranties, Rights and Licenses in the Website, Limitation of Liability and Indemnification, Copyright Notice, and Privacy Policy (all subsections). You also agree to the following terms and clarifications regarding the items in the Traveler Agreement:
You have requested the Owner of a particular Timeshare at the Resort listed in the Traveler Agreement to make a reservation for you to utilize a Stay. The Stay may be used by you and others accompanying you OR it may be used by others you designate in writing and that are listed with the Resort as a “Guest”, “Guest Reservation”, or similar term used by that Resort to mean those under your supervision using the Stay. You agree to be responsible for your actions, those accompanying you, those who you authorized to utilize the Stay, etc. (“Stay Guests”) including that Stay Guests will comply with all the rules applicable to any persons staying at the Resort and that any damage done by Stay Guests which are charged to the Owner by the Resort will be reimbursed by you and that we may charge the Credit Card listed on the Traveler Agreement that was used to pay for the Stay for any such charges. You also agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim the Owner makes against us for damages that you did during the Stay. Finally, you represent and warrant to us that you have authority to bind the Stay Guests to these Terms of Use.
You agree to pay the Inspection Price listed in the Traveler Agreement and that is the cost of the right that Owner is granting you to utilize the Stay which is made available to you and others to advertise the Timeshare. Should you desire to purchase a Timeshare property at the Resort following the use of the Stay, you will be credited the entire Inspection Price toward any future purchase price. However, you are under no obligation to purchase any Timeshare property, and unless otherwise stated in the advertisement, under no obligation to take any tour or listen to any solicitation. Additionally, although the Owner must give you a credit for the Inspection Privilege Price towards the sales price, the Owner is under no obligation to sell the Timeshare property. It is not expected that there will be sales taxes, resort fees, or hotel taxes due on the Stay unless otherwise indicated in your paperwork, but if a government entity determines that such taxes are due, you, the Traveler, and the Owner are jointly and severally liable for such taxes and you indemnify us from any liability related thereto.
You agree that once the Stay is reserved by the Owner, there are no refunds or changes. If possible, we may assist in contacting the Owner to make changes; however, we cannot and do not promise that such changes to the Stay will be accepted by the Resort or that the Owner will cooperate in making such changes. Regardless of how much notice you have given for a proposed change, you understand that no such changes are guaranteed and that you are still responsible for the trial use fees even if life events, Acts of God, or the Resort actions occur that make it impossible for you to use the Stay. Travel insurance is available from third parties to assist with some unforeseen events and we encourage all Travelers to consider purchasing the appropriate travel insurance.
You understand that the Resort may have additional fees for services, not included as part of the Stay Inspection Price, which are charged by the Resort to all those who utilize a Timeshare at that Resort or those that utilize particular services whether they are Owners or not (“Daily Fees”). Daily Fees vary at different timeshare resorts and can include, without limiting the types of fees applicable to your Stay, wifi access fees, local phone call fees, towel exchange fees, activity fees, extra cleaning fees (beyond the standard cleaning done by the Resort for all guests), transportation fees, amenity fees (beyond the standard amenities included for all guests), etc.
Additionally, the Owner or Resort in some cases may have the legal right to change or cancel a reservation for the Stay or in otherwise interrupt or disrupt the enjoyment of the Resort during your Stay (“Owner Interruption”). You agree that we are not responsible for an Owner Interruption and that although we will do what we can to return the Inspection Price to you we are not required or obligated to do so. You understand that the claim for refund that you and Stay Guests have for an Owner Interruption is against the Owner of the Timeshare property or the Resort.
In addition to the consent given in the Privacy Policy, you agree that by using the assisted booking service, you are granting us the right to contact you by phone and email, that you have specifically given us permission to do so, and that if you wish to revoke the right for us to contact you, then you must give us notice via email, phone or in writing by US Mail that you wish to be removed from our list.
OWNER – INSPECTION USE
If you choose to offer an Inspection Privilege of your timeshare to a Traveler, you agree that you understand the different options available to you as an Owner and you have decided to use our assisted booking service as outlined in the Assisted Inspection Use Owner Agreement (“Owner Agreement”). You have decided to use this service because of the advantages that a trial use of your timeshare property (including both deeded and right to use products) (“Timeshare”) provides you in allowing someone who is considering the purchase and advantages of timeshares in general to evaluate the property you own for purchase (an “Inspection Privilege”). By signing the Owner Agreement you agree to the terms on this page that are applicable to you, specifically, and without limitation, the provisions under All Users, All Sellers – General Terms, Disclosures, Owner – Inspection Use, Disclaimer No Warranties, Rights and Licenses in the Website, Limitation of Liability and Indemnification, Copyright Notice, and Privacy Policy (all subsections). You also agree to the following terms and clarifications regarding the items in the Owner Agreement: You understand that we are providing the services to assist you in finding and entering into an agreement with the Traveler. You, as Owner, are responsible for the terms of the agreement between you and Traveler for the Stay.
You have agreed to make a reservation for the person identified in the Owner Agreement (“Traveler”) so that the Traveler and others accompanying them OR third parties designated in writing by the Traveler (“Stay Guests”) and list them with the Resort as a “Guest”, “Guest Reservation”, or similar term used by that Resort to mean those using the Stay. The Traveler has agreed to be responsible for their actions and the actions of Stay Guests, including compliance with all the rules applicable to any persons staying at the Resort. Traveler has agreed to reimburse you for any damage caused at the Resort during the Stay for which the Resort holds you responsible. You understand and agree that we are not responsible for such damages.
You represent and state that you are the owner of a Timeshare Property at the Resort identified in the Owner Agreement and that you have the right to reserve a Stay at the Resort for the Stay either as owner, a representative of owner, an officer with authority to bind a business entity, etc. After you have made a reservation the Traveler and/or Stay Guests, you agree that you will provide this information (“Confirmation”) to us and to the Traveler at our request. You are responsible to verify the information provided in the Owner Agreement and verify that the size of the unit, the dates for the Stay, and all other information are accurately reflected in the Confirmation and also reflect the description of the Timeshare property for which you are Owner. We may hold any monies due to you under the Owner Agreement until the Confirmation is received and verified by us and/or the Traveler.
You agree that you will not interfere in any way with the Stay for any reason. You understand that by making the reservation you will not be able to deposit the Stay with any resort or third party exchange program nor to have access to the right to use that is used for the Stay and will not commit the Timeshare property to any third party for which you have received Confirmation.
Should you or the Resort interfere with the Stay for any reason including any disruption of the enjoyment of the resort by the Traveler and/or Stay Guests during the Stay (“Owner Interruption”), you agree to pay liquidated damages to the Traveler and/or Stay Guests damages in the amount of the cost of alternate accommodations made by the Traveler during the time covered by the Stay and all costs associated with changing accommodations. If we may make substitute accommodations for the Traveler, you agree to reimburse us rather than the Traveler for those accommodations. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim the Traveler and/or Stay Guests make against us for an Owner Interruption.
You agree to assist in resolving any resort issues that may arise either before or after the Stay regarding the reservation and the Traveler’s ability to use the Stay, including any request for a change to the Stay provided; however, that you are under no obligation to make a change to the Stay and Traveler is obligated to pay for the Stay even if a change request is not fulfilled. You agree that should the Traveler desire to buy a timeshare property and you agree to sell your Timeshare property, you will apply the Inspection Price received toward the purchase (while you are not under any obligation to sell the Timeshare property there may be tax implications if the Traveler offers to purchase, you refuse, and alternative properties are not available to Traveler). While not obligated to do so, should the Traveler decide to purchase a timeshare property, we will assist them to find similar properties which are available, and the Traveler may decide to purchase those properties rather than your Timeshare property. If Traveler does so you agree to hold us harmless for any lost opportunity to sell your Timeshare property to Traveler. You also agree to issue a refund when due in accordance with these Terms and/or the Owner Agreement. You also authorize us to obtain and charge any credit card you have provided to us for damages outlined in these Terms of Use or in the Owner Agreement including any reasonable and customary costs of collection, including attorney’s fees.
IMPORTANT: Before signing the Owner Agreement, you should carefully review your original timeshare purchase contract and other documents to determine what reservations you can make for the Traveler and if there are any restrictions or special conditions applicable to the use by third parties of your Timeshare property. If you decide to sell your Timeshare property, you also need to review them to determine whether the developer has reserved a first right of refusal (“ROFR”) or other option to purchase your interest or to determine whether there are any restrictions or special conditions applicable to resales. If you require legal advice, please contact an experienced timeshare lawyer to assist you. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership or joint venture between you and us or to authorize you to act as the agent for us or to permit you to undertake or bind us to any contract or undertaking. Since the Traveler is visiting for an Inspection Privilege, it is not expected that there will be sales taxes, resort fees, or hotel taxes due on the Stay unless otherwise indicated in your paperwork, but if a government entity determines that such taxes are due, you, the Owner, and the Traveler are jointly and severally liable for such taxes and you indemnify us from any liability related thereto.
In addition to the consent given in the Privacy Policy, you agree that by using the assisted booking service, you are granting us the right to contact you by phone and email, that you have specifically given us permission to do so, and that if you wish to revoke the right for us to contact you, then you must give us notice via email, phone or in writing by US Mail that you wish to be removed from our list.
