On 9/19/07, our company's legal counsel responded to this owner in writing expressing our sympathy with her situation and the recent passing of her husband. It is a situation which many of us can understand as a result of our experiences in our own lives and families. The best we all can do is to prepare financially for this kind of situation. We understand she is apparently angry over our denial of her request to rescind her purchase, so here is our best explanation of our reason. She expressed concern over our lack of a bereavement clause, but frankly, our legal counsel doesn't think he has ever seen such a clause in a consumer contract. Her purchase is not restricted, so it is transferable to family or friends, or it can be sold. It is much the same as any other consumer good such as an automobile or a personal item anyone can purchase, even if it has not yet been used. Sales of our products and services are used not only for current expenses and wages, but for future projections and budgeting, like any business, so our company cannot have an open-ended opportunity for rescission of contracts, regardless of the reason or circumstances. Our company apologizes we cannot grant her request, but will obviously still honor the vacation if it is sold or transferred to someone else.
