Buyer Tom purchases a timeshare interest in a South Carolina coastal resort on Monday and receives the public offering statement that same day. On Friday — the fifth calendar day — Tom mails a written rescission notice to the developer. The developer argues that the notice is ineffective because it was not received by Friday. Under the SC Vacation Time Sharing Plans Act, which of the following best describes the validity of Tom's rescission?

Correct Answer

A) Tom's rescission is valid if the notice was postmarked or sent by midnight on the fifth calendar day

Under the SC Vacation Time Sharing Plans Act, a purchaser may rescind by sending written notice to the developer within the five-day period. The rescission is effective upon sending — meaning the notice must be postmarked or transmitted by the end of the fifth calendar day. The developer's actual receipt of the notice after the deadline does not invalidate a timely-sent rescission. This protects purchasers from delays caused by mail delivery.

Answer Options
A
Tom's rescission is valid if the notice was postmarked or sent by midnight on the fifth calendar day
B
Tom's rescission is invalid because written rescission must be delivered in person to the developer's office
C
Tom's rescission is valid only if he sent the notice by certified mail with return receipt requested
D
Tom's rescission is invalid because the developer must physically receive the notice within the five-day period
