§ 5.

Cancellation Rights. (1) Right of Rescission: A purchaser or a Membership Camping Operator has an unconditional right to rescind any Membership Camping Contract, or revoke any offer, at any time prior to or within 3 business days after the date the purchaser actually receives a legible copy of the binding contract. "Business day" means any calendar day except Sunday or Federal holiday. Predating of a document does not affect the time in which the right to rescind may be exercised. (2) Notice. Each membership camping contract or disclosure document shall contain the following notice: "Either the purchaser or the Membership Camping Operator is entitled to rescind this agreement for any reason within 3 calendar days (excluding Sundays and national holidays) from the day the purchaser actually receives a legible copy of this document signed by all parties. The rescission, which must be made in writing, shall be delivered by certified mail or delivered in person. The purchaser shall return the contract, certificate of membership, and any membership cards, ID, or materials to the Membership Camping Operator upon said notice in the same condition in which it was received or pay the cost of replacing the material". Following the date of the rescission notice, the Membership Camping Operator shall, within 10 days, begin processing the refund of any money paid by the purchaser so that the purchaser will receive a refund no more than 21 days after the date of the rescission notice. Upon rescission the purchaser shall immediately return the contract, certificate of membership, and any membership cards, ID, or other materials to the Membership Camping Operator in the same condition in which it was received or pay the cost of replacing the material. (3) Effective Date: Rescission occurs when the purchaser or the Membership Camping Operator gives written notice of rescission or when rescission is made in person. (Source: P.A. 85-1209.)
