Nevada's five-day timeshare cancellation rule, in plain language

What the statute says

Text as published by the Nevada Legislature. MiraPact's date math is pinned to a snapshot of this text, retrieved on the date shown at the end of this page.

1. The purchaser of a time share may cancel, by written notice, the contract of sale until midnight of the fifth calendar day following the date of execution of the contract. The contract of sale must include a statement of this right.

2. The right of cancellation may not be waived. Any attempt by the developer to obtain a waiver results in a contract which is voidable by the purchaser.

3. The notice of cancellation may be delivered personally to the developer, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by express, priority or recognized overnight delivery service, with proof of service, to the business address of the developer.

4. The developer shall, within 20 days after receipt of the notice of cancellation, return all payments made by the purchaser.

Nevada Revised Statutes § 119A.410 — Right to cancel contract of sale ↗

Five things the text states

• The period is five calendar days, counted from the date of execution of the contract.
• It ends at midnight at the end of the fifth day. The statute does not name a time zone; MiraPact's calculations use Nevada time (America/Los_Angeles).
• The right may not be waived. The statute says an attempted waiver makes the contract voidable by the purchaser.
• The statute lists delivery methods for the written notice: personal delivery, certified mail with return receipt, or express, priority, or recognized overnight service with proof of service, to the developer's business address.
• After receiving a notice of cancellation, the developer must return all payments within 20 days.

Calendar days, not business days

Some pages about Nevada timeshares say "business days." The statute's text says calendar days, so Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays count, and the text contains no provision that moves the deadline when the fifth day lands on a weekend or holiday.

• Executed on a Monday: day five is Saturday, and the period runs through midnight at the end of Saturday.
• Executed on a Friday: day five is Wednesday, counting Saturday and Sunday along the way.

MiraPact publishes a document-confirmed candidate date only after a supervised review confirms the execution date and location, a direct developer sale, and a matching five-calendar-day clause in the contract. Anything less stays clearly marked as illustrative.

What this rule does not tell you

A statute is not a diagnosis of your case. Whether this right applies to a specific contract can depend on facts MiraPact does not decide: what was sold, by whom, where it was executed, and what the contract itself states. That is why MiraPact shows a candidate date as information, never as legal verification.

If you may still be inside a cancellation window, read the official text now, check your contract's own cancellation clause, and consider talking to an independent Nevada lawyer. No MiraPact review pauses a legal deadline.
