A new report and tips for consumers from the ECC-Net can help you find your way through the timeshare maze.<\/p>\n<p>Existing EU rules protect you when you buy timeshare or long-term holiday products but it is better to be well informed to make sure the people selling them obey the law. In the last few years a whole new range of products and sales techniques have emerged that have rendered choice of formulas even more complex.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the ECC-Net can be of help and assistance. It performed a study to understand the major traps so as to raise awareness among consumers, authorities and other stakeholders of problems related to timeshare-like products. This led to a report and a list of tips, which you can see on the website of each ECC in your national language.<\/p>\n<h3>Four tips to keep you out of trouble:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Don\u2019t sign anything unless you are sure you want to buy<\/b>. You don&#8217;t need to sign contracts immediately and the seller must give you all necessary information in good time before you sign.<\/li>\n<li><b>If you have second thoughts<\/b>, you have 14 days from signing a contract in which to cancel it free of charge.<\/li>\n<li><b>If something looks too good to be true, it probably is<\/b>. A typical case involves an offer of a scratch card at a resort which shows that you&#8217;ve won a prize. To get it, you have to go to a nearby office to hear a short presentation. This turns into a lengthy sales pitch during which you&#8217;re pressured to sign a contract without having chance to think about the terms and conditions.<\/li>\n<li>Read first, pay later. You cannot be asked to pay a deposit upfront. Take contracts home to go through them properly before signing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Need more?<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ecc.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Timeshare-raportas.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>ECC-Net Report on Timeshare<\/b><\/a>, the European Commission\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/consumers\/consumer_rights\/travel\/timeshare\/index_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reviewed the functioning of the existing legislation<\/a>\u00a0(Directive 2008\/122\/EC (Timeshare Directive)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"iawp_total_views":8},"rights-category":[107],"class_list":["post-4404","rights","type-rights","status-publish","hentry","rights-category-travel"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.2 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Timeshares, holiday clubs, leisure credits, bonus weeks and vouchers are just some of the offers you might have seen when planning your holidays or at nice and sunny resorts.
