(a) Delivery of public offering statement.--In cases where delivery of the public offering statement is required under section 4402(c) (relating to public offering statement; requirements), a declarant shall provide a purchaser of a cooperative interest with a copy of the public offering statement and all amendments thereto not later than:

(1) the date the purchaser executes the contract of sale for such cooperative interest; or

(2) if no contract of sale is executed, 15 days before the time of conveyance of that cooperative interest.

After a public offering statement has been delivered to a purchaser of a cooperative interest, a person required to deliver a public offering statement pursuant to section 4402(c) shall provide to the purchaser copies of all amendments to the public offering statement made between the date of delivery of the public offering statement and the date of conveyance of that cooperative interest.

(b) Cancellation within 15 days.--Except as provided in subsection (c):

(1) Unless a purchaser is given the public offering statement more than 15 days before execution of a contract for the purchase of a cooperative interest, a purchaser, before conveyance, may cancel the contract within 15 days after first receiving the public offering statement.

(2) A purchaser, before conveyance, may cancel a contract for the purchase of a cooperative interest within 15 days after receiving a copy of any amendment to the public offering statement that would have a material and adverse effect on the rights or obligations of that purchaser.

(c) Cancellation within seven days.--Unless a purchaser of a time share is given the public offering statement more than seven days before execution of a contract for the purchase of a time share, the purchaser, before conveyance, may cancel the contract within seven days after first receiving the public offering statement. A purchaser of a time share, before conveyance, may cancel a contract for the purchase of a time share within seven days after receiving a copy of any amendment to the public offering statement that would have a material and adverse effect on the rights or obligations of that purchaser.

(d) Limitations as to amendments.--Without limiting those amendments that would be deemed not to produce material and adverse effects on the rights or obligations of purchasers, cancellation is not permitted under subsection (a), (b) or (c) if the amendment or possible future promulgation thereof was disclosed in the public offering statement previously delivered to the purchaser.

(e) Notice and effect of cancellation.--If a purchaser elects to cancel a contract pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c), he may do so by hand delivering notice thereof to the offeror or by mailing notice thereof by prepaid United States mail to the offeror or to his agent for service of process. Cancellation is without penalty, and all payments made by the purchaser before cancellation shall be refunded promptly.

(f) Damages for noncompliance.--If a person required to deliver a public offering statement pursuant to section 4402(c) fails to provide a purchaser to whom a cooperative interest is conveyed with that public offering statement and all amendments thereto as required by subsection (a), (b) or (c) or, if the public offering statement or any amendment does not comply with the requirements of this subpart, the purchaser, in addition to any other rights to damages or relief, is entitled to receive from that person an amount equal to 5% of the sales price of the cooperative interest up to a maximum of $5,000 or actual damages, whichever is the greater amount. A minor omission or error in the public offering statement or an amendment thereto that is not willful shall entitle the purchaser to recover only actual damages, if any.
