4. Any Club Program Member or Individual Member may independently
upgrade his or her corporate membership to Interval Gold or Interval
Platinum status upon his or her payment of the applicable upgrade fee, plus
any applicable tax. Each Club Program Member and Individual Member
acknowledges and agrees that membership in Interval Gold or Interval
Platinum is separate and distinct from the corporate membership maintained
on behalf of each Club Program Member by MORI or his or her Individual
Membership, as applicable, and each Club Program Member and Individual
Member shall be responsible for his or her enrollment in and, where
applicable, renewal of Interval Gold or Interval Platinum membership.
Failure to renew membership within 120 days from any expiration thereof
may require payment of a readmission fee to reinstate membership.
5.
Individual Membership fees are refundable on a pro rata basis (based
on the number of full months remaining in the applicable membership
period) upon II’s receipt of an Individual Member’s request for cancellation
of his or her membership and a refund; Interval Gold membership fees are
refundable on the same basis provided, however, that the Club Program
Member or Individual Member also returns to II any Interval Gold
membership card(s) that he or she has received. Upgrade fees for Interval
Platinum are nonrefundable under any circumstances.
6. The applicable exchange fee per week to be confirmed is subject to
any applicable tax and must be paid at the time an exchange request is
made. An exchange request to travel within the Club Program Member’s or
Individual Member’s country of residence requires a domestic processing
fee. For travel outside the Club Program Member’s or Individual Member’s
country of residence, an international processing fee is required.
Any request
that contains destinations both within the country of residence and outside
the country of residence requires the international processing fee, regardless
of where the request is ultimately confirmed.
If the international processing
fee is paid, no portion of the fee will be refunded if confirmed to an area in
which the domestic processing fee would otherwise apply. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Club Program Members and Individual Members residing in
the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean pay the same processing fee,
regardless of the travel destination selected. Club Program Members and
Individual Members who choose to utilize II’s website at IntervalWorld.com
to transact an exchange request are eligible to receive a discount on the
applicable processing fee, per week confirmed. If the request is made by
telephone, the exchange fee may be paid by a credit card acceptable to II or
by check. Where the exchange fee is paid by check, however, confirmation
will not occur until said check has been received and processed by II.
Accommodations will be held for five calendar days pending receipt of a
check for an exchange fee. In addition, in any instance in which a Club
Program Member or Individual Member pays a fee by check, II reserves the
right to collect an administrative fee where such check is returned to II.
Checks are not accepted for Confirmations with occupancy commencement
dates within 30 days or less. Exchange fees will be refunded only if an exchange
cannot be confirmed, if cancellation of the applicable exchange request is
received by II prior to Confirmation, or if cancellation is received by II
within the first 24 hours of a Confirmation’s issuance. Exchange fees will
not be refunded under any other circumstances.
7. The applicable exchange fee, plus any applicable tax, must be submitted
by the Club Program Member or Individual Member at the time a ShortStay
Exchange Confirmation is received. This exchange fee is nonrefundable. Any
cancellation of a ShortStay Exchange results in the loss of the Points or
Week relinquished.
8. The purchase of E-Plus requires the payment of an additional fee, plus
any applicable tax per exchange request or Confirmation.
An E-Plus fee will
only be refunded if the original exchange request cannot be confirmed or if
cancellation of the original exchange request is received prior to Confirmation.
E-Plus fees will not be refunded under any other circumstances.
9. If the Deposit Extension Option is selected by a Club Program
Exchange Member or Individual Member who has relinquished a Week to
II, an additional fee per deposit is required at the time the deposit extension
is requested. The applicable fee is required to extend a deposit for six or
12 months.
10. If a Guest Certificate is requested by any Club Program Member or
Individual Member other than an Interval Platinum Member, an additional
fee is required at the time the certificate is requested. If II does not issue a
Confirmation for which the Guest Certificate has been purchased, the
certificate fee will be refunded. Guest Certificate fees will not be refunded
under any other circumstances. Interval Platinum Members are not required
to pay a fee to request a Guest Certificate.
11. The applicable Marriott Vacation Club Internal Exchange Fee for
requests to MVCI Resorts only, plus any applicable tax, per Week
exchanged, must be submitted at the time a request is made, and will only
be refunded if the exchange request cannot be confirmed or written
cancellation is received by II prior to Confirmation. Any exchange request
submitted that contains both MVCI Resorts and other Member Resorts
must be submitted in accordance with the other terms and conditions set
forth in this
Resort Directory
, including payment of the standard applicable
exchange fee. In the event such request is ultimately confirmed to a MVCI
Resort, no portion of the fee paid to II will be refunded (e.g., the difference
between the exchange processing fee and the Marriott Vacation Club
Internal Exchange Fee). The Marriott Vacation Club Internal Exchange Fee
may be increased from time to time, upon written notice to Members.
12. In the event that a Club Program Member or Individual Member sells,
rents, exchanges, or otherwise assigns the Home Resort accommodations to
any third party after such accommodations have been deposited with II,
while a request is pending with II, or after II has issued a Confirmation, II will
assess such Club Program Member or Individual Member an administrative
fee. Additionally, such Club Program Member or Individual Member will be
responsible for all liabilities incurred by II in connection with the double use
of the accommodations by the Club Program Member or Individual Member.
Under these circumstances, membership privileges will be suspended
(without further obligation by II) until such time as all amounts owed have
been paid in full to II.
13. II may suspend membership privileges in the event a Club Program
Member or Individual Member fails to pay any amount owed to the Host
Resort, II, or any other company related to II.
14. Some jurisdictions have imposed a tax on the occupant of resort
accommodations. Consequently, any bed tax, transient occupancy tax, or
similar tax that is imposed shall, in those circumstances, be the responsibility
of the exchanging Club Program Member or Individual Member. Members
may be required to contact the Host Resort prior to arrival in order to
prepay such taxes and certain other resort fees. Additionally, Club Program
Members and Individual Members are responsible for all personal charges
(e.g., telephone calls and meals) while at the Host Resort, any utility surcharge
or other charge imposed by a resort, as well as any damage to or loss or
theft from the Host Accommodations and facilities that is caused by Club
Program Members or Individual Members and their respective guests.
15. Fees, if any, charged by Member Resorts for certain services, meal plans,
and amenities are determined and levied by each resort. Such fees are the
responsibility of the Club Program Member or Individual Member. These
fees vary from resort to resort.
16. All fees may be increased from time to time by II, at its sole discretion.
Club Program Members and Individual Members will be advised of any
such increases through II’s regular publications or on II’s website,
IntervalWorld.com.
