Refund and Cancellation Policy
Last updated March 3, 2027, Version 2.1
1. Overview & Escrow Hold
1.1 Every resort week booking on ETS Luxury Travel is protected by the Check-in Hold escrow protocol. When a reservation request is accepted by the deeded timeshare owner, the traveler’s funds are placed directly into an independent escrow account. Funds remain secured until check-in is confirmed at the resort front desk.
1.2 This policy defines the rights, timelines, and refund percentages applicable when either a traveler or an owner initiates a cancellation of a confirmed reservation.
2. Traveler Cancellation Windows
2.1 Refund eligibility is determined by the number of calendar days between the date cancellation is formally requested and the scheduled resort check-in date (Saturday 16:00 HST).
| Cancellation timeframe | Refund amount | Escrow handling |
|---|---|---|
| Over 60 days before check-in | 100% full refund | All escrow funds returned to traveler card within 3 to 5 business days. Platform booking fee credited. |
| 30 to 60 days before check-in | 50% refund | 50% of the weekly rental amount returned to traveler; 50% reserved for owner compensation on check-in date. |
| Under 30 days before check-in | No refund | 100% of rental amount held and disbursed to timeshare owner after scheduled check-in date. |
2.2 Resort-collected hospitality fees (e.g. daily parking, local transit taxes) are paid directly to the resort upon arrival and are never charged or retained by ETS.
3. Owner Cancellation Policy
3.1 Because timeshare reservations are matched directly to recorded deeds, owner cancellations are strictly regulated. If an owner cancels a confirmed reservation at any point, the traveler receives an immediate 100% refund of all funds paid.
3.2 The cancelling owner will incur a re-booking penalty and temporary suspension of verified host status until deed credentials are re-audited.
4. Resort Unavailability
4.1 In the event of official resort closure due to severe weather, natural disaster, or mandatory evacuation, reservations are cancelled with a full 100% refund to the traveler.
