A South Carolina timeshare developer asks purchaser Linda to sign a clause in the purchase contract stating that she waives her right to cancel the agreement. Linda is concerned about whether this clause is enforceable. Which of the following best describes the legal status of this waiver under South Carolina law?

Correct Answer

C) The waiver is unenforceable because the five-day rescission right cannot be waived under SC law

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 27-32-170, the purchaser's five-day right of rescission is a statutory right that cannot be waived. Any contractual provision purporting to waive or limit this right is void and unenforceable under the SC Vacation Time Sharing Plans Act, regardless of whether the purchaser signs it voluntarily or is represented by counsel.

Answer Options
A
The waiver is enforceable if Linda signs it voluntarily and is represented by an attorney
B
The waiver is enforceable only if it is included in the public offering statement
C
The waiver is unenforceable because the five-day rescission right cannot be waived under SC law
D
The waiver is enforceable after the five-day rescission period has already expired
