Section 863-030-0075 - Exchange Programs

(1) A seller or developer who offers an exchange program to a purchaser in conjunction with a timeshare plan shall be responsible for the delivery of the exchange program information, if the offer is made in conjunction with and at the time of the purchase of a timeshare interest. An exchange company offering an exchange program directly to purchasers on its own behalf shall be responsible for the delivery of the exchange program information. The accuracy of the exchange program information is the responsibility of the exchange company and not the buyer or developer. The exchange program information provided to a purchaser shall include the written information required under subsection (2) of ORS 94.826, and the following: The names and addresses of all the officers and directors of the exchange company.

(a) Whether the purchaser's contract with the exchange program is separate and distinct from the purchaser's contract with the developer of the timeshare plan;

(b) A complete description of all limitations, restrictions or priorities employed in the operation of the exchange program, including but not limited to, limitations on exchanges based on season, unit size or levels of occupancy; and, if the limitations, restrictions, or priorities are not applied uniformly by the exchange program, a complete description of the manner of their application;

(c) Whether exchanges are arranged on a space available basis and whether the exchange company guarantees fulfillment of specific requests for exchanges;

(d) Whether the fees for participation in the exchange program may be altered and the method for alteration;

(e) The names and locations of all accommodations and facilities included in the timeshare plans participating in the exchange program;

(f) The number of timeshare accommodations in each timeshare plan which are available for occupancy and which qualify for participation in the exchange program.

(g) The number of currently enrolled purchasers and owners at each timeshare plan participating in the exchange program.

(h) The disposition made by the exchange company of timeshare periods deposited with the exchange program by purchasers and owners enrolled in the exchange program.

(2) The seller of a timeshare plan shall use and represent only the most current information on file with the commissioner under this rule when offering a timeshare plan, including an exchange program, to purchasers. It is sufficient for the developer and the exchange company referred to in this rule to rely upon the most current directory or other publication prepared and distributed by the exchange company, which includes the information referred to in this rule.
