WHO WE ARE

We are an internet advertising company.  Our goal is to create a marketplace that efficiently serves the needs of both Sellers and Buyers. We are NOT involved in any transaction between a Seller and a Buyer, even though we may from time to time provide tools that enable the transaction to occur.  As a result, we do not warrant or guarantee any part of an actual or potential transaction between a Seller and a Buyer, including the quality, safety or legality of the timeshare advertised, the truth or accuracy of the advertisement, the ability of a Seller to sell or rent a timeshare or the ability of a Buyer to buy or rent a timeshare.

We are NOT a licensed real estate broker.  Any inquiries about a timeshare are submitted via email and the Seller and the Buyer are responsible for negotiating any sale or rental of a timeshare.  We do not provide Sellers or Buyers with any brokerage services, including, but not limited to: appraising or providing professional guidance regarding the value of a timeshare; showing timeshares (other than posting advertisements on our Website); screening, qualifying or identifying Buyers or Sellers; forwarding any offers or counteroffers (other than those you automatically receive by email); advising as to offers received; participating in the negotiation of any sale or rental of a timeshare; providing Sellers or Buyers with any form of agreement, or completing an agreement, necessary to effectuate the sale or rental of a timeshare; or performing any actions related to a transfer of a timeshare, including the review of title, the request of estoppel letters, the escrowing of funds, and the acknowledgement of transfer by the timeshare resort’s owners association. 

We are NOT affiliated with any resort or resort developer.  We are an independent company that advertises timeshares located throughout the world, irrespective of who developed or manages the timeshare resort.      

PRIVACY 

To understand our practices, please review our PRIVACY NOTICE.   The Privacy Notice is incorporated as part of this Agreement and also governs your visit to this Website.  You agree that we can use any data provided by you in accordance with the Privacy Notice.

SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE BY OPERATOR             

 

Sellers

When a Seller purchases advertising services from us, we will create an advertisement using Your Ad Content, assign that advertisement an “AD#” and post that advertisement to the Website.  Your Ad Content may be modified from time to time so long as the modifications comply with our Content Guidelines located at the end of this Agreement.  When a Buyer searches our Website, advertisements fitting his/her search criteria will appear in the search results.  Generally, advertisements will automatically rotate, with the more recently posted or edited advertisements appearing closer to the top of the search results.

Unless otherwise noted in your Advertising Services Contract, your advertisement will remain posted for one (1) year.  Upon expiration of the one-year period, the advertisement will be removed from the Website unless the Seller renews his/her Advertising Services Contract by emailing us at info@buyatimeshare.com.  To assist us in processing your request, please include the phrase “Ad Renewal” and your AD# in the header of the email.  Advertisements are automatically renewed for a one year term from the date you last logged into your free online account on the Website or from the date of the last approved change to Your Ad Content by customer service, whichever is later. All Renewals have a term of one year, and there is no limit on the number of renewals.  Further, there is no charge for any renewal unless additional services (”Enhancements”) are purchased at the time of renewal.

Some Enhancements will allow Your Ad Content to be modified using special fonts, characters and functionality.  Other Enhancements will improve the placement of your advertisement on the Website for a specific period of time by, for example, placing an advertisement at the top of a Buyer’s search results or within prominent “featured” areas within the Website.  Other Enhancements may be made available from time to time, and we reserve the right to immediately cease offering any particular Enhancement at our discretion.  When considering whether to purchase an Enhancement, please make sure you fully understand the conditions, cost and, as applicable, the duration of the Enhancement prior to purchasing.    

The pricing for all services made available to Sellers by Operator may vary from time to time based upon a number of variables.  Any price paid by a Seller will be set forth in the applicable Advertising Services Contract.  We reserve the right to alter pricing at any time, and have no obligation to provide any refunds to any Seller as a result any pricing modification.  From time to time, we may offer specials, rebates or discounts; these are available on the terms and conditions set by us at our discretion.       

Buyers

The Website includes certain Content that helps Buyers efficiently identify timeshares that meet their criteria for purchase or rental.  We do not currently charge any registration, access, use or other fees with respect to the use of such Content, whether or not the Buyer purchases or rents a timeshare advertised on the Website. 

All Users

You understand and agree that the services described above do not include any advice or assistance in connection with the sale, purchase or rental of real estate, including but not limited to real estate brokerage services.  If you feel that you need such services, you should contact a licensed real estate broker.  

SERVICES OFFERED BY OTHERS

The advertising services we offer help Buyers find Sellers.  However, concluding any transaction will often require additional steps, such as negotiating prices, completing agreements and filing documents.  While we don’t provide these services, the Website contains links to other companies that do (“Service Providers”).  If you request our assistance with respect to documentation or brokerage services, we will provide your information to Service Providers so that they can assist you with your request. 

In some cases, these Service Providers are owned, in whole or in part, by the same individuals that own the Operator.  However, we do not control the Service Providers.  You are not obligated to use the services of any Service Provider that links to the Website or that we may otherwise recommend or suggest.  

Once you begin discussions with a Service Provider, we will have no involvement whatsoever in the services the Service Provider offers to provide you.  In addition, the Service Provider will likely charge you a fee for the services you request.  You are encouraged to review any Service Provider agreement (including their website terms and conditions and privacy policy) in advance of paying that fee so you understand what services are offered and your obligations with respect to the same. 

The fact that we provided a link to a third-party website, or that we recommend a particular product, service or Service Provider, does not constitute an endorsement of that website, product, service or Service Provider.  Your use of the same is at your own risk.   We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings of, any Service Provider or the content of their websites. We do not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, products, or services of any Service Provider.      

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR BUYERS

While generally bound by the entire Agreement, Buyers should take note of some specific aspects of the Website and Content:

1. Our platform empowers you to make offers and negotiate the purchase or rental of timeshares. In order to take advantage of these benefits, you must register as a “new user” by clicking on “sign up for a free account” and submitting a new user registration form. You agree that any registration information you submit will always be accurate, correct and up to date.

2. While we provide a platform for you to negotiate with Sellers, we cannot ensure that a Seller will always receive your communications. If you have not received a reply to any message sent to a Seller, it could be that the Seller has not checked his/her account or that the email alerting the Seller of your message was intercepted by his/her spam filter.

3. We use the word “timeshare” in its broadest possible sense. Therefore, the timeshares advertised by Sellers on the Website could refer to either deeded real estate or undeeded use rights. In either case, the right to use accommodations could be perpetual or time-limited, and the accommodations may be fixed or assigned to you at check-in. Further, it is possible that use rights are expressed in some form of currency, such as points. See our Frequently Asked Questions to better understand the variables associated with the purchase or rental of timeshares.

4. Although we believe the Content to be generally reliable, we do not independently confirm the accuracy of any information on the Website related to a timeshare advertised by a Seller. As a consequence, we do not represent or warrant that the Content or any information provided by a Seller is accurate, current or complete. Buyers are advised to contact the applicable resort regarding the condition and availability of any timeshare prior to completing any transaction with a Seller.

5. We are also not responsible for: (i) the condition of any timeshare advertised on the Website or the compliance with laws, rules or regulations that may be applicable to such timeshare; or (ii) the actions of any Seller, including, but not limited to, the failure of Seller to comply with the terms of any timeshare rental or sale agreement.

6. Advertisements on our Website should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or rent a particular timeshare, or to otherwise engage in any negotiation with a Seller.

7. While we currently do not limit the number of Sellers a Buyer can contact, we reserve the right to set upper limits on the number of communications and negotiations a Buyer can maintain simultaneously. Those limits may apply generally or to specific Buyers, at our sole discretion.

8. The resort manager may condition your use of any timeshare upon additional terms and conditions, irrespective of any agreement you may have with a Seller. These could include, but are not limited to, a requirement that the Buyer present a credit card at check-in or sign a liability waiver prior to engaging in resort activities. Failure to comply with such obligations could result in the cancellation of your accommodation use rights or an inability to use certain resort amenities. Buyers should understand all such conditions prior to effectuating a transaction with a Seller.

Based on the foregoing, every Buyer agrees that the Website and Content are provided for informational purposes only, and that any reliance on any portion of the Content shall be at a Buyer’s sole risk.     

   ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR SELLERS

This Agreement is expressly made part of the Advertising Services Contract each Seller executes with us.  As a consequence, receipt of the Services you purchased is contingent upon your compliance with this Agreement, including the following:

1. Our platform empowers you to manage Your Ad Content and respond to offers. In order to take advantage of these benefits, you must register as a “new user” by clicking on “sign up for a free account” and submitting a new user registration form. You agree that any registration information you submit will always be accurate, correct and up to date.

2. The sale/rental of your timeshare will depend on many factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the attributes of your timeshare (i.e., type, size, location, season), your sale/rental price, and the speed and method by which you respond to offers. The Operator cannot, and does not, make any representation as to if or how soon your timeshare will be rented or sold or as to the amount you will receive as a result of such transaction. For best results, you should check your Website account frequently for offers. If you have not received a reply to any message sent to a Buyer, it could be that the Buyer has not checked his/her account or that the email alerting the Buyer of your message was intercepted by his/her spam filter.

3. Posting an advertisement does not require you to disclose your identity. We strongly suggest that you take appropriate security measures and not include your name, physical address, telephone number or email address in your advertisement. This type of information is better shared once you have completed negotiations and have assurances that the Buyer has a bona fide interest in purchasing/renting your timeshare.

4. In order to make our Services more effective, we engage in various general advertising activities intended to attract Buyers to the Website. However, you agree that we are under no obligation to include any references to your timeshare or Your Ad Content in such advertising.

5. Neither this Agreement nor the Advertising Services Contract results in any change with respect to your ownership of the timeshare advertised. You remain responsible for the payment of maintenance fees/taxes, and you retain the right to use the timeshare, until the timeshare is transferred to a Buyer.

6. You are responsible for any rental or sale of your timeshare. As a consequence, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not engage in any activity that would be considered unfair, improper or unlawful, such as double-booking your timeshare, infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, renting timeshares that are unavailable for your use due to failure to pay maintenance fees, or violating the terms of any agreement (written or oral) with a Buyer.

7. The resort manager may condition your sale or rental of your timeshare upon additional terms and conditions, irrespective of any agreement you may have with a Buyer. These could include, but are not limited to, a requirement that the Buyer be an individual or your payment of a transfer fee. Failure to comply with such obligations could result in your being unable to consummate a transaction with a Buyer. Sellers should contact their resort’s management in order to fully understand all such conditions prior to negotiating a transaction with a Buyer.

8. You agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules and regulations that may apply to any sale or rental of your timeshare, and that we assume no responsibility for your compliance.

9. You understand that the rental or sale of your timeshare may result in an obligation to pay sales, use, occupancy or other taxes in one or more jurisdictions, and you agree to ensure that the same are paid by you or the applicable Buyer. You further agree there may be circumstances where we are legally obligated (as we may determine in our sole discretion) to provide information relating to your offer to sell or rent in order to comply with investigations, litigation or administrative proceedings.

10. We advertise thousands of timeshares for our customers. So that Buyers can have an efficient and fruitful experience, and not waste time on abandoned advertisements, we reserve the right to remove or otherwise repurpose Your Ad Content if you fail to renew your advertisement as described above in Services Made Available by Operator - Seller. If removed, You Ad Content will no longer be viewable through the Website. If repurposed, You Ad Content will remain visible through the Website, but communications from potential Buyers will be re-routed so we can be assured that these persons receive responses to their offers or questions.

 

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR ALL USERS

8. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Content at all times, including any chat rooms and forums that may hereinafter become available, to determine your compliance with this Agreement.

9. You agree to use the Website and Content at your own risk. We assume no liability or obligation to take any particular measure to assist Users in avoiding potentially fraudulent or other illegal activity. In the event we do provide warnings or messages to Users about any such activity, we do not warrant that such messages are accurate or that such messages will reach any or all Users they should have reached in a timely manner or at all or that such messages or measures will prevent any harm, result or action.

CONTENT PROVIDED BY USERS

Users have various opportunities to provide us with Content.  These opportunities may include, but are not limited to, Your Ad Content, resort reviews and testimonials.  You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in any Content which you submit or post on or through the Website.  However, upon submitting or posting the Content, you give us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute that Content.  Further, you agree that this license permits us to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom we have relationships.

We reserve the right (but shall have no obligation) to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Content you provide for use at the Website.  Accordingly, we may revise Your Ad Content, or refuse to approve it for publication on the Website, if it does not comply with our Content Guidelines, violates the intellectual property rights of any third party, or otherwise does not advance our business purposes. If you offer any Content that reviews or comments upon any resort or accommodation, you agree that such Content represents your experience and impressions after having actually stayed at that resort.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Operator has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any Content that you provide for use on the Website and for the consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which we may suffer).  You further agree that you are responsible for protecting and enforcing any intellectual property rights you may claim with respect to any Content you provide to us.

You also acknowledge that electronic communications may not be secure and release Operator of any liability related to its use of electronic communications.

REFUND REQUESTS AND THE TERMINATION/TRANSFER OF ADVERTISEMENTS

Refund Requests

Generally, no refunds are available to Sellers as our costs for performing services are incurred once the advertisement is posted and Enhancements are put into effect.    However, Sellers may cancel their purchase of one or more services prior to the Deadline as described in the Advertising Services Contract.   Any Seller wishing to cancel a purchase prior to the Deadline can do so by emailing us at customerservice@buyatimeshare.com.  For effective processing, please include the phrase “Notice of Cancellation” and your AD# in the header of the email.  If canceling by mail, address your notice of cancellation as follows:  

BuyATimeshare – Customer Service Notice of Cancellation 5337 Millenia Lake Blvd. Suite 225 Orlando, FL 32839

Nothing in this Agreement or the Advertising Services Contract shall obligate the Operator or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to refund any fees paid to us if you fail to sell your timeshare within a certain period of time or for a certain minimum price.

Money Back Guarantee 

Sellers should check their Advertising Services Contract to verify whether they have the opportunity to participate in our Money Back Guarantee program.  A timeshare sale is a “Qualified Sale” if: (a) the sale is accomplished through a real estate broker; and (b) the amount received by Seller in exchange for the timeshare exceeds $200 and 85% of the initial “Sale Price” included in your original Advertising Services Contract.  In the event of a Qualified Sale, the Seller will receive a full refund for our basic advertising services (but not any Enhancements) within 30 days of providing us with: (a) evidence of the sale, including the sale agreement, the recorded deed (if the timeshare is deeded), and proof of payment of a broker’s commission (i.e., a settlement statement); and (b) completed refund documentation approved by us from time to time. 

This guarantee does not apply if your timeshare was transferred: (i) for less than $200; (ii) where the consideration received included debt forgiveness or credit toward another timeshare or vacation product; or (iii) in connection with a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu transaction.  In addition, the guarantee does not apply to timeshare rentals or agreements whereby we accept payment for services in any form other than U.S. currency.  If you and the Buyer negotiated or otherwise communicated through the Website or Content, you are not eligible for any refund whatsoever.  

Any Seller wishing to claim a refund under the guarantee can do so by emailing us at customerservice@buyatimeshare.com. For effective processing, please include the phrase “Money Back Guarantee” and your AD# in the header of the email. If claiming the refund by mail, address your refund request as follows:

Termination by Seller

If your timeshare sells or you otherwise wish to remove your advertisement from the Website for any reason, please email us at customerservice@buyatimeshare.com. For effective processing, please include the phrase “Termination” and your AD# in the header of the email. 

Termination by Operator

If, in our sole discretion, we determine that Your Ad Content violates our Content Guidelines, or that you have misused the Website or materially violated the terms of this Agreement or your Advertising Services Contract, we may: (i) terminate or suspend your account, which you acknowledge may delete or otherwise limit your access to the Content, your account details or any files or other content which is contained in your account; (ii) terminate or suspend the Advertising Services Contract and remove your advertisement from the Website without advance notice and without any right to a refund of any fees paid to us; or (iii) pursue any and all remedies available to us at law or in equity.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or related to any products or services you purchase in connection with the Website, your use of the Website, or your violation of any third-party right. You are solely responsible for interactions with any other Users of the Website. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release the Operator from any and all claims or liability related to any product or service available through the Website or any conduct, action, or inaction by the Operator. In connection with the foregoing release, you hereby waive any rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction) which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTES AND BINDING ARBITRATION

 

This Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and the Operator shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. Except as otherwise provided herein, You irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the County of Hillsborough, Florida (the “Florida Courts”) for any litigation or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your performance or nonperformance hereunder (including but not limited to collection matters).  Most concerns can be resolved quickly and effectively by calling the Operator’s customer service department at (800) 882-0296.  In the unlikely event that customer service is unable to resolve your concern, we each agree to resolve any disputes through binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Operator are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. 

References to "Operator," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services under this or prior Agreements between us. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

Arbitration Agreement

Operator and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us that can’t otherwise be resolved through customer service. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. 

The arbitration shall be held in Hillsborough County, Florida before one arbitrator under the consumer arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, you shall select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to and chosen by the Operator from AAA’s pool of arbitrators.Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all of its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines.

To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand and serve such demand on the other party within one (1) year of when the claim or controversy first accrued. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitrator is not permitted to award indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages against any party. If the AAA rules permit a party to proceed with their dispute in small claims court, and a party chooses that option, the parties agree not to seek any remedy or relief in small claims court that would be unavailable to them through binding arbitration. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in the Florida Courts. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this Agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.

YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE OPERATOR WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION.BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO PRESENT A DISPUTE IN COURT, RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS OR DISPUTES WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE.IF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.
