Important: clock starts at signing, not when you get home
The rescission clock begins the moment you sign the contract — not when you return home, not when you “feel ready.” Resort salespeople often delay giving you the public offering statement to eat into your window. Send your written cancellation by certified mail the same day you decide to cancel.
