“You may cancel this contract without any penalty or obligation within 10 days from the date of this contract, or until 10 days after you receive the public offering statement, or the time-share unit meets all building requirements and is ready for occupancy, whichever last occurs.

If you decide to cancel this contract, you must notify the developer in writing, in which case, your notice of cancellation shall be effective on the date sent provided it is actually received by the developer and shall be sent to (name of developer) at (address of developer).
