Protection for buyers to be proposed to introduce time share to Polish civil code

Today the Senate will start working on a proposal which will introduce time sharing to the civil code. It has worked abroad for over 30 years and is mostly connected with tourist services. The buyer will get the right to use the property for exact periods during a year and in return must pay a discounted fee. The seller must present the customer a very detailed contract stipulating a penalty fee for breaking the agreement. The new bill will protect the buyer and will not allow the seller to introduce any changes to the contract without informing the other party. The buyer will also be allowed to end the agreement within ten days if the seller violates the contract. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 8) M.M.
