As a party advertising a Vacation Ownership Interest on the Website (whether as an owner, broker or agent — each a "Seller"), you agree to pay the Company the following amounts (each a "Platform Fee"), in the manner set forth below, in consideration for the advertising services provided by Company relative to each VOI sold through the Website:

  1. There is no up-front cost for a seller to list; Vacatia does receive a success-based Platform Fee after the sale has been completed.

Representations and Warranties

As a Seller advertising a Vacation Ownership Interest on the Website you hereby make the following representations and warranties, upon which Company does rely:

  1. Compliance with Laws. Each Seller hereby represents and warrants that its sale of one or more Vacation Ownership Interests is being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws including any and all requirements to obtain, and timely deliver to Buyer, a timeshare public report, or functional equivalent thereof, from the applicable department of real estate or comparable agency.
  2. Company Not a Broker. 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.
  3. Seller Solely Responsible for All Representations. You understand that any and all advertisements appearing on the Website for the sale of one or more VOIs has been posted by you, the Seller of such VOI, and that you alone are 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.
  4. Company Not Responsible for Seller's Acts. We are not responsible for the representations, descriptions, depictions and/or photographs regarding any VOI, all of which are being provided by you or other, 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.
  5. Accepted Offers Constitute Non-Binding Expressions of Intent. 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. Seller 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 Buyer, including, but not limited to, any breach of the purchase agreement by the Buyer with regard to the purchase of a VOI.
  6. For Sellers Who Are Not a Real Estate Broker or Agent:
    1. You are an individual who owns one or more Vacation Ownership Interests and desires to sell such interest(s); OR
    2. You are a principal (e.g. director, officer, partner, manager, member, etc.), employee or agent of a business entity that owns one or more Vacation Ownership Interests and desires to sell such interests, and you:
      1. have been duly and lawfully authorized in writing by the required management personnel of such entity to act on the entity's behalf with regard to the purchase or sale of each VOI which is the subject of your transaction(s); AND
      2. are at all times acting within the scope of the authority which you have been granted.
  7. For Sellers who are Real Estate Brokers:
    1. You (or the corporation for whom you act as a broker/officer), hold a duly issued, validly existing and currently effective real estate broker's license, and are currently authorized to purchase and sell real property interests on behalf of third party clients in accordance with applicable laws;
    2. You have been lawfully engaged to sell the Vacation Ownership Interest(s) for which you shall make any offer to sell; AND
    3. You shall make any offer to sell one or Vacation Ownership Interests solely in accordance with the terms authorized by your client.
  8. For Sellers who are Real Estate Agents / Non-broker Licensees:
    1. You maintain a duly issued, validly existing and currently effective real estate agent's or salesperson's license, and are currently authorized to purchase and sell real property interests on behalf of third party clients in accordance with applicable laws;
    2. You maintain the necessary legal affiliation with a duly licensed broker required of you by your licensing authority in order to legally promote the purchase or sale of Vacation Ownership Interests for another;
    3. You have been lawfully engaged to sell the Vacation Ownership Interest(s) for which you shall make any offer to sell; AND
    4. You shall make any offer to sell one or more Vacation Ownership Interest(s) solely in accordance with the terms authorized by your client.

Vacation Ownership Interests Already Listed By Another Person

We allow only one advertisement per specific VOI. There may be situations where more than one person believes they have the right to post a valid advertisement regarding the same VOI. We cannot, and will not attempt to, determine the validity of claims of competing Sellers. As such, it is the responsibility of each Seller to resolve the validity question prior to placing an advertisement on the Website. Any unauthorized posting of a VOI on the Website which is not resolved may result in revocation of the posting and suspension/revocation of posting privileges for the parties in question.

Classification of VOI's and VOI Information.

It shall be the responsibility of the Seller to properly classify the type of VOI advertised, and accurately describe all of the information relating thereto, and, if necessary, obtain a legal opinion to determine the correct classification and information. By classifying and describing the VOI advertised, the Seller certifies that the advertisement falls under the classification designated and is described accurately. 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 to verify, or obtain third-party verification of, any information regarding such interest or any other information set forth in any advertisement. However, we shall have the right to have legal counsel make a determination as to the classification of the VOI type, or as to the accuracy of any information regarding a VOI, and if the Seller does not reclassify or edit accordingly, we shall have the right to reject or remove any such advertisement that we determine falsely represents the VOI.

Privacy of Information Exchanged

Seller acknowledges and agrees that any information exchanged between Seller and any prospective Buyer on the Website is available to the Company, and may be used solely in accordance with the terms of the Website Privacy Policy, as the same may be amended from time to time, unless otherwise directed by the party providing such information. Seller is also advised to be cautious regarding the direct exchange of identification and financial information outside of the oversight of a title and/or closing agent, and then, only after the Buyer's identification has been third-party verified.

Limitation on Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
