I don't know much about whatever passes for "law" in Mexico, but I suspect that the situation is even worse than as quoted above.

Here in the U.S., for comparative example, if something is not overtly stated in writing within a timeshare contract, that "something" essentially does not exist. Any and all "conversation" during a sales pitch is just meaningless noise, temporarily floating around in the air.

The written content of the contract is what really matters. In point of fact, many developer timeshare contracts actually state in writing, within the contract that any and all oral representations made outside of the written contract content are not binding. This very convenient dodge enables the developers to shield themselves (and their hungry, lying sales weasels) from culpability and accountability when their sales personnel inevitably make absurd verbal exaggerations, factual misrepresentations and outright false statements in their relentless efforts to "close the deal".

That said, I am truly astounded that anyone would voluntarily subject themselves to 12 hours with timeshare sales weasels. That is just entirely beyond my ability to even begin to comprehend.
