French Tourism Code
In forceA travel operator who, under the conditions provided for in Article L. 211-24, assists in the conclusion of a timeshare contract does so under a written mandate which indicates the name of the agent, the purpose of the mandate, its duration and the costs which may be incurred by the agent in the performance of his duties.
The mandate shall also indicate the amount of the remuneration of the travel operator and specify the conditions under which the parties or one of them shall bear the cost thereof. The mandate expressly states that the agent may not, in application of article L. 121-66 of the French Consumer Code, demand or receive, directly or indirectly, any goods, effects, values or sums of money, representing commissions or fees for research, canvassing, advertising or mediation before the expiry of the withdrawal period. The agent may not demand or collect any sums other than those provided for in the timeshare contract.
The travel operator records each mandate in chronological order in a register, which may be kept in electronic form under the conditions defined in articles 1366 and 1367 of the Civil Code and which is kept for ten years. The registration number in this register is shown on each copy of the mandate.
