The purpose of the Club Plan is the creation of a vacation program wherein Members may obtain Lodging Rights to accommodations, or rights to use Other Benefits, for the term of their Membership, and by redeeming all or part of the Holiday Credits allocated to their account.

There shall be a Members Register of participants in the Club Plan containing at least the following information: a) The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Members and the corresponding Entry Levels; b) The date when each Member’s name was entered in the Register as a Member; c) The date when the Holiday Credits are due to lapse pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Operating Rules; d) The date when any Member ceased to be a Member. A separated record of each Membership’s Holiday Credits Account, together with the transactions registered in the Members account shall be maintained. The Club shall, after entering the related information of a Member into the Members Register, and upon payment in full of the purchase price will issue the Membership Certificate.

Membership in the Club Plan and the holding of Holiday Credits grants Members rights to use Lodging Units and to obtain any Other Benefits in accordance with the provisions of the Operating Rules. Membership Holiday Credits Accounts shall be credited with the number of Holiday Credits in the Club Plan to which a Member is entitled, based on the particular Member’s Entry level on the Membership anniversary date (January 1st of each year). A Member shall be entitled to redeem accommodations in Lodging Units or the use of Other Benefits, for Holiday Credits currently accumulated in the corresponding Holiday Credits Account of one’s Membership (including those purchased as described in the following paragraph), in accordance with the Holiday Credits Allocation Charts and subject to the Operating Rules. The redeeming of Holiday Credits for accommodations in Lodging Units, or for the use of Other Benefits is subject to limitations related to availability, since the Club’s main policy is that reservation requests for Lodging Units and for the use of Other Benefits shall be handled on a strict “first come, first served” basis. The Management Company shall be entitled to the use of Lodging Units, for such commercial or other purposes as are consistent with the operation of the Club Plan, during times that have not been previously reserved by Members in accordance with the Operating Rules. The Management Company may allow third parties the uses of such Lodging Units, under such terms as the Management Company shall from time to time consider, at its sole discretion, appropriate.

During each Membership Year, a Member in good standing shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase Additional Holiday Credits, which shall be valid and included in the Member’s Holiday Credits Account for an unlimited period of time. Therefore, such Additional Credits shall not have an expiration date of twelve months from the date of purchase, however, the purchase of Additional Credits cannot be cancelled or be subject to a refund. Members may purchase annually a maximum amount of Additional Holiday Credits equal to the total Holiday Credits annually credited to one’s account. The purchase price of such Additional Holiday Credits shall be established by the Management Company during each calendar year, and shall be regulated only by the existing market conditions.

Members may accumulate annually, from one year to the following, up to twenty percent of the Holiday Credits corresponding to their Entry Level Mebership. Those unused Holiday Credits may be used only the following Calendar Year, otherwise, such credits will expire, and be null and voided. Unused Holiday Credits surpassing the above-mentioned percentage are not subject to accumulation. Regardless of what is stated in the previous paragraph, a Member may carry forward up to a total of ten (10) times during the life of one’s Membership, carry from one year to the next an amount equal to the total number of annual Holiday Credits credited to the account, providing such Holiday Credits were not previously redeemed for the use of Lodging Units or Other Benefits. The total number of Accumulated Holiday Credits not redeemed for Lodging or Other Benefits during the year they were accumulated, shall expire, may not be accumulated the following year, and will be considered as null and void. The benefit of carrying forward an amount equal to the total number of Holiday Credits may only be exercised by a Member in good standing, having paid the Annual Club Fee on time for the Membership year to be accumulated. This accumulation feature may not be used in following years. The accumulation of Holiday Credits is not automatic. Any Member requesting to accumulate Holiday Credits not redeemed during a year must provide a written notice to the Management Company on or before December 31st of that year. The benefit of accumulation is not valid for Holiday Credits that have been accumulated from previous years.

A Member, who is 50 years old, or older, shall have the right to accelerate the redemption of Holiday Credits over a period of not less than fifteen years. This Member may exercise this benefit by adding to Holiday Credits Account a maximum amount of Holiday Credits corresponding to the Member’s Entry Level in a calendar year, and may only accumulate up to twenty percent of the Holiday Credits of their Entry Level without taking in to account the Holiday Credits accelerated that certain year. Such Accelerated Holiday Credits shall be debited from the last year of the life of one’s Membership. A Member accelerating the redemption of one’s Holiday Credits shall pay the Annual Club Fee for the normal year of usage, as well as for the Accelerated Year.

Each Member has the right, in accordance with the Operating Rules, to use the amount of Holiday Credits owned, to redeem Holiday Credits allocated to one’s account to make reservations of Lodging Units at any of the Resorts participating in the Club’s Plan, or to acquire any Other Benefits available.

The submission of the Charge Notice by mail from the Management Company to the relevant Member shall constitute an order for payment.

B. Other charges
The laws of some countries in which the Resorts are established impose certain occupancy taxes or fees, which are not included in the Annual Budget.
This is due to the fact that such taxes or fees are usually not attributable to the Club Program, but constitute special charges applicable only in certain countries. Therefore, the Annual Club Fee does not cover such expenses, which may be charged to the Member when he/she enters into such countries or when the Accommodation Unit is occupied precisely in those countries. Members are individually responsible for the payment of these occupancy taxes or fees.

This Special Fee cannot be more than twice the amount paid for the Ordinary Annual Fee corresponding to the Year in which the Special Fee is generated.
In the event that both Ordinary and Special Fees are insufficient, it will be ROYAL HOLIDAY CLUB’s sole responsibility to cover the difference.

C. Payment of Club Annual Fee and other charges
Each Member is responsible for paying the Annual Club Fee corresponding to their Membership, according to the following:

The Charge Notice signed and issued at any time by and on behalf of the Management Company, stating the amount due for a given Member in accordance with the terms of the Operating Rules, will constitute prima facie evidence (first sight) of said indebtedness by the Member.
If there is any outstanding balances from the due date, a collection fee equivalent to 5% of the amount due and unpaid will be charged to the Member. Subsequently, if the amount due and payable remains unpaid for more than thirty days, then a charge will be applied for interests on the unpaid balance by the Management Company, at a rate of 2.5% per month, until the total unpaid amount is covered, provided that said interest rate does not contravene the applicable legal provisions. If so, the rate will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such laws.
