I think the most important mindset to have about contracts is that they are most helpful when they clearly set out the expectations of both parties. THAT is where most difficulties arise in the first place -- one or both parties not really understanding all of the possible ramifications and consequences of the transactions.Not having read through this entire thread, may I ask if is there an updated (and agreed upon) version to the one posted by WebMasterDoc on 8-25-05?
Most of what I have seen is discussion on the validity & legalese of the sample contracts' phrasing. I am not an attorney so I have no opinion on any argument posted, however I would like to protect my interests.
Any suggestions?
You don't have to, but you can purchase park tickets prior to arrival and you should save some money doing it that way.You don't pay for dining or park tickets until you arrive at the resort. You would pay the front desk for them once you arrive. HTH.
Do anyone have (or know of) an official list of DVC rules ? Have rented a reservation to a non-member and they are requesting an official set of rules but I don't have (or know where to find) one ?
Thanks,
Chris
You set the official rules for the reservation as the owner. You should have a copy of the Public Offering Statement that tells you about notifying MS if you are receiving compensation for your reservation. Non-members are not entitled to any DVC perks (heck, DVC members aren't getting that many any more) UNLESS they are staying with the member on the member's reservation.
The reservation is owned by you. If the non-member doesn't like those terms, they need to rent elsewhere.
They cannot communicate with MS for any reason. They cannot change the reservation. They cannot add or removed DDP from the reservation. They cannot set up Magical Express. As the owner, only you can do this.
You probably need to get a little more familiar with your timeshare before you rent it out.
From your posts, it's not at all clear what information your customer is looking for. I think I'd ask your renter specifically what information they want.Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the rules or renting, but was just trying to see if there was anything else (other than the POS) out here.
I've stressed that other than the items mentioned above with regard to contacting MS or changing the ressie that there isn't anything different from a rules standpoint staying at DVC as opposed to a regular hotel. Meaning you must follow the hotel rules, you're responsible for room charges, you're responsible for any damage to the unit - the common sense stuff.

We have a couple of concerns tho: there are several warnings about dealing with DIS newbies, as we are. We lurk on a few Disney forums but seldom post. What references would you look for as a renter? We could throw a load of inane posts in here to up our count but obviously that's not the idea!
Also, as we are from the jolly Kingdom of England does this have any bearing on our ability to rent out points? Have fellow Brits had any problems? Would our American chums shy away from overseas rentals?
Are we also right in thinking that all rentals go through this site? ie. we couldn't find a separate one for UK DVC'ers.
Graham & Denise,
I've just finished reading the entire thread and I am in the same situation. I have 70 points "extra" this year. Did you ever find an answer to your newbie question? or rent your points? Thanks. Cindy
