1. The developer shall file a public offering statement with the Division for approval for use as prescribed in NRS 119A.300.

2. The public offering statement must include:

(a) The following disclosures in substantially the following form, in at least 12-point bold type:

This Public Offering Statement is prepared by the Developer to provide you with basic and relevant information on a specific time-share offering. The Developer or Owner of the offering that is the subject of this Public Offering Statement has provided certain information and documentation to the Real Estate Division of the Department of Business and Industry (the “Division”) as required by law.

The statements contained in this Public Offering Statement are only summary in nature. A prospective purchaser should review the purchase contract, all documents governing the time-share plan or provided or available to the purchaser and the sales materials. You should not rely upon oral representations as being correct. Refer to this public offering statement, the purchase contract and the documents governing the time-share plan for correct representations.

While the Division makes every effort to confirm the information provided and to ensure that the offering will be developed, managed and operated as planned, there is no guarantee this will always be the case. The Division cannot and does not make any promise or guarantee as to the viability or continuance of the offering or the financial future of the offering or any plan, club or association affiliated therewith.

The information included in this Public Offering Statement is applicable as of its effective date. Expenses of operation are difficult to predict accurately and even if accurately estimated initially, most expenses increase with the age of facilities and with increases in the cost of living.

The Division strongly suggests that before executing an agreement or contract, you read all of the documentation and information provided to you and seek additional assistance if necessary to assure that you understand all aspects of the offering and are aware of any potential adverse circumstances that could result from a time-share purchase in this Offering.

The purchaser of a time share may cancel, by written notice, the contract of sale until midnight of the fifth calendar day following the date of execution of the contract. The right of cancellation may not be waived. Any attempt by the Developer to obtain a waiver results in a contract which is voidable by the purchaser. The notice of cancellation may be delivered personally to the Developer or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by providing notice by express, priority or recognized overnight delivery service, with proof of service, to the business address of the Developer. The Developer must, within 20 days after receipt of the notice of cancellation, return all payments made by the Purchaser.

(b) The following disclosures in substantially the following form, in at least 12-point bold type on a separate page in a prominent place, as determined by the Division:

A time share is for personal use and is not an investment for a profit or tax advantage. The purchase of a time share should be based upon its value as a vacation experience or for spending leisure time, and not for purposes of acquiring an appreciating investment or with an expectation that the time share may be resold.

Resale of your time share may be subject to conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on the posting of signs, restrictions on the rights of other parties to enter the project unaccompanied, the Developer’s first right of refusal or the Developer’s continued sale of time-share inventory. Any future purchaser may not receive any ancillary benefits which were not part of the time-share plan that the Developer may have offered at the time of purchase.

You should check your contract and the governing documents for any such conditions and also check whether your purchase contract or note or any other obligation will be fully due and payable upon sale of your time share.

Real estate agents may not be interested in listing your time share.

3. The public offering statement must include, without limitation, the following information in a form prescribed by the Division:

(a) A brief history of the developer’s business background, experience in real estate and regulatory history.

For the purposes of this paragraph:

(1) The description may reference a list of the documents containing the restrictions and state that the copies of the documents are available to the purchaser upon request.
