Timeshare Rescission Deadline
Cancelling inside the rescission period is the one exit that refunds everything, and the window is measured in days. Choose your state and signing date for a cautious act-by date and the law that sets it. If we could not verify a statute, the tool tells you rather than guessing.

This tool returns a conservative act-by date, not a legal opinion. Send your notice well before it.
Holidays are not computed, and some states extend a deadline that lands on a Sunday or a legal holiday. Business-day counts here skip Saturdays and Sundays (Sundays only for Delaware). Treat the date above as the latest you should act, never as the last day you can. This is general information, not legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Normally the state where the resort is located, and most contracts name the governing law outright. That can differ from the state you live in. If your contract names a state, use it here.
Several states start the clock on the later of the day you signed and the day you received the public offering statement or public report. If the paperwork reached you late, your window may still be open. In a few states it does not begin until the documents arrive.
We looked and could not confirm a timeshare rescission law there, or the statute other sites cite was repealed or covers something else. We would rather say so than publish a number we cannot support. Check your contract's own cancellation clause and ask an attorney licensed in that state.
Rarely. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule covers many sales made at a seller's temporary location, but it excludes real estate, and a deeded timeshare is real estate. Rely on your state's timeshare law and your contract instead.
Use the method and the address your contract specifies, and send it before the deadline. Keep proof of when it was sent and delivered; the FTC's general advice for cancelling a sale is certified mail with a return receipt.
