Re: Cancelling within 10 days (by KC):

Missouri state law (407.620) very clearly states, in pertinent part, that "...a purchaser of a timeshare plan or timeshare property has five days after the day of purchase to cancel the purchase". [end quote]

Your written cancelation must be postmarked within the above referenced 5 days identified by the applicable MO law. It does not matter when the seller actually receives your cancellation --- postmark date of your written cancellation is all that matters in the eyes of the law. If a written cancellation is not postmarked within those 5 allotted days, then the seller is not legally obligated to accept or process your cancellation at all.

To the best of my knowledge, only Florida and Tennessee (and maybe one other state, but it's definitely not Missouri) have cancellation periods as long as 10 days. The vast majority of states have cancellation periods of 5-7 days. Several states (Massachusetts and one or two others) allow only 3 days!
