If the timeshare project is affiliated with a timeshare purchase agreement, what may the purchaser do regarding fees?

When a timeshare project is affiliated with a timeshare purchase agreement, the purchaser may be required to pay any or all fees charged by the exchange plan for the first two years. The rationale behind this is that many timeshare properties require owners to contribute to the upkeep and management of the property through fees associated with maintenance, management, and any associated exchange services. The exchange plan enhances the value of the timeshare by offering options to trade or exchange weeks with other timeshare owners, which often incurs additional costs within the first couple of years.

This initial fee structure is standard because it allows the managing organization to establish the operational costs and build a reserve for maintenance right from the start. It also helps in creating a clear understanding between the purchaser and the developer about the financial obligations associated with timeshare ownership.

In contrast, the other options either provide unrealistic expectations regarding fee waivers, do not typically align with standard industry practices or imply a negotiation aspect that is not generally available under the terms of timeshare agreements in their initial years of operation.
