Acceptance of Terms – Legally Binding Agreement

Welcome to Vacatia.com (the "Website"), the website of Vacatia, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company," "we" or "us"). The following Buyer Participation Agreement ("Buyer Agreement"), together with the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and related documentation, govern your participation on the Website as a proposed buyer of one or more of the following: (i) a timeshare estate, (ii) a timeshare use right, (iii) points in a points-based timeshare system, or (iv) any other shared ownership vacation property interest, each of which shall be referred to herein as a "Vacation Ownership Interest" or "VOI." By using the Website you accept and agree to be bound and abide by the terms and conditions of this Buyer Agreement. In other words, this document becomes a legally binding agreement between you and us once you begin using the Website to purchase a Vacation Ownership Interest. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Buyer Agreement, you must not access or use the Website as a Buyer of one or more VOIs.

By using this Website, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and that you may legally enter into a binding contract. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the Website.

Changes to the Buyer Agreement

We may revise and update this Buyer Agreement from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Governing Law and Jurisdiction Section below will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or prior to the date the change is posted on the Website. Additionally, any transaction for which an escrow has already been opened shall be governed by the form of this agreement in effect at the time of the opening of such escrow notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto prior to the closing of such escrow.

Your continued use of the Website following the posting of a revised Buyer Agreement means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page each time you access the Website so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Representations and Warranties

As a Buyer purchasing a Vacation Ownership Interest advertised on the Website you hereby make the following representations and warranties upon which Company does rely:

You understand that Vacatia is an information and advertising platform upon which third parties may post advertisements for the sale of VOIs, and that the Company's role is to maintain and support the platform. You understand that the Company is not a licensed real estate broker, licensed attorney or other licensed professional corporation, and does not engage in any activity for which a license is required. The Company makes referrals to professionals including, but not limited to, licensed real estate brokers, licensed attorneys, and title and closing agents, as and when necessary. The Company does not promote the sale of any specific VOI. Any use of the term "listing" on the Website refers solely to an advertisement posted by a Seller on the Website and does not connote any activities for which a real estate broker's license is required.
You understand that any and all advertisements appearing on the Website for the sale of one or more VOIs has been posted by the Seller of such VOI who is solely responsible for the content of such advertisement and any and all representations contained therein. It is the sole responsibility of each Seller to properly classify the type of VOI advertised, and accurately describe all of the information relating thereto. You acknowledge that none of the Company, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, contractors or agents acting in their official capacity are responsible for the content posted on any advertisements regarding the sale of one or more VOIs. Unless otherwise agreed in a separate writing which by its terms specifically supersedes this document, we shall have no affirmative responsibility to verify, or obtain third-party verification, of the type of VOI set forth in any advertisement, nor verify, or obtain third-party verification, of any information regarding such interest or any other information set forth in any advertisement.
We are not responsible for the representations, descriptions, depictions and/or photographs regarding any VOI, all of which are being provided by independent third parties, nor are we responsible for any of the acts or actions of any Seller or other Buyers, all of whom are independent third party actors.
When a Buyer clicks the "Submit Offer" button, the Buyer is expressing his or her non-binding intent to make an offer to enter into a binding purchase agreement with the Seller, which binding purchase agreement, when entered into by Buyer and Seller, will be consistent with the Buyer's expression of intent and contain other important terms and conditions. Company's only obligation is to ensure that the Website platform delivers the Buyer's expression of intent to the Seller and, thereafter, to refer such information to a third-party title and closing agent who will prepare the binding purchase agreement and close the transaction. Buyer acknowledges that a binding and enforceable contract may not exist between the Buyer and Seller until such time both parties have signed the purchase agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for any acts of the Seller, including, but not limited to, any breach of the purchase agreement by the Seller with regard to the sale of a VOI.
