During a timeshare sales presentation in Knoxville, Tennessee, a salesperson tells a prospective buyer: 'If you don't sign today, this price won't be available tomorrow.' The buyer signs the contract that evening but regrets the decision the next morning. The buyer sends a rescission notice by email to the resort six days after signing, believing the five-day period runs from the day after signing. Under the Tennessee Timeshare Act, which outcome is most accurate?

Correct Answer

B) The rescission is untimely; the five-day period runs from the date of signing, and the sixth day falls outside the statutory window

Under the Tennessee Timeshare Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-32-114, the five-day rescission period runs from the date the contract is signed — not from the day after signing. If the buyer signed on Day 1, the rescission window closes at the end of Day 5. Sending the rescission notice on Day 6 falls outside the statutory period, making the rescission untimely. High-pressure sales tactics, while potentially actionable under other consumer protection laws, do not automatically extend the statutory rescission window under the Timeshare Act.

Answer Options
A
The rescission is valid because high-pressure sales tactics automatically extend the statutory rescission period under Tennessee consumer protection law
B
The rescission is untimely; the five-day period runs from the date of signing, and the sixth day falls outside the statutory window
C
The rescission is timely because the five-day period is measured from the day after signing, making the sixth calendar day the last valid rescission day
D
The rescission is untimely, but the buyer may seek relief through the Tennessee Attorney General's consumer protection division based on the high-pressure sales tactic
