It shall be a violation of this article for a seller of vacation time-sharing plans to:
(1) Fail to refund any and all payments made by the buyer under the contract and return any negotiable instrument, other than checks, executed by the buyer in connection with the contract or services within 20 days after receipt of notice of cancellation made pursuant to Section 34-27-53, if the buyer has not received any benefits pursuant to the contract.
(2) If the buyer has received any benefits pursuant to the contract, fail to refund within 30 days after receipt of notification of cancellation made pursuant to Section 34-27-53 or Section 34-27-54 any and all payments made by the buyer to the seller which exceed a pro rata portion of the total price, taking into consideration the cost of use of the time-share facilities at an average rental rate per unit for all time-share units, representing the proportion of any contract benefits actually received by the buyer during the time preceding cancellation.
(3) Fail to place in an escrow account 100 percent of the funds received from the purchasers of such plans, where the seller of the time-sharing plan transfers an interest herein to the purchaser, which escrow account shall provide that:
a. Its purpose is to protect the buyer's right to refund during the five day right to cancellation period provided in Section 34-27-53 or Section 34-27-54, and
b. Funds may be withdrawn by the seller upon transfer to the buyer after expiration of the respective cancellation period provided in such Sections 34-27-53 and 34-27-54.
