The primary laws governing the creation and regulation of timeshare in Oregon are Chapter 94 of the Oregon Revised Code, which is entitled Real Property Development. Oregon recognizes the need to protect timeshare purchasers and owners, as described in the §94.806 of the code. The legislature wishes to protect timeshare owners by promulgating laws for timeshare sales, resale, and timeshare listing companies. A timeshare is defined as a timeshare estate or timeshare license.

Oregon’s Right of Rescission for a Timeshare Contract

In Oregon, under 94.836, a purchaser holds the right to cancel a timeshare contract within five calendar days from when the contract is executed. (This right cannot be waived.) However, if no address is provided to the purchaser as to where to send their written notification to cancel a timeshare, this five day period begins once that information is provided. The buyer must submit this notice by certified mail with a return receipt requested. The notice of cancellation right must be either on the first page of the first written agreement for the sale, which is signed by the purchaser, or on a separate sheet attached to the first page.

After the five day time period has run, the developer reserves the right to have the purchaser sign a statement renouncing the notice to cancel a timeshare contract. This right cannot be waived before the five day time frame.
