South Carolina – Timeshare Know Your Rights

Cancellation period is five days from the date you sign the contract or receive the required disclosure statement, whichever is later.

See South Carolina’s timeshare contract cancellation procedure here.

• South Carolina Code of Law §27-32-40(A)(5)(a) says that the contract of sale must state the following: “You may cancel this contract without penalty or obligation within five days after the date you sign this contract, not including Sunday if that is the fifth day, or the date you receive the disclosure statement pursuant to section 27-32-100, whichever occurs later. If you decide to cancel, you must notify the seller in writing of your intent to cancel by sending notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by another verifiable means, to (name of seller) at (seller’s address).”

• Follow the process carefully and document your cancellation notice.

• Send copies of your notice to your state attorney general office or other regulatory agency.

Understand your legal rights to void a sale or recover payments for illegal timeshare sales, under South Carolina Code 27-32-120 (link).

• Code 27-32-120(C) says, “(C) In addition to the penalties provided in this section, a contract for the sale of an interest in a vacation time sharing plan in violation of this chapter is voidable at the sole option of the purchaser and entitles the purchaser to a refund of all consideration paid by him pursuant to the contract.”
