SFX Terms & Conditions
1. Reservation Program. SFX Preferred Resorts (“SFX”) essentially acts as an independent reciprocal reservation system for accommodation occupancy at various resort locations. Resort accommodations can include, but are not limited to, a hotel unit, a studio unit or multi-bedroom condominium, town home, or home (“Resort Accommodation”.) SFX members deposit days and/or weeks of such Resort Accommodation(s) (“Member Deposit(s)”). In exchange, SFX members receive the same number of days and/or weeks as their Member Deposit(s) at Resort Accommodation(s) of other members or Resort Accommodation(s) sourced by SFX for this purpose. This program is known as the SFX Exchange/Reservation Program (“SFX Program”).
2. Gold & Diamond Members. SFX has two levels of Membership, Gold and Diamond. Diamond Members pay or have paid on their behalf annual membership fees. As a result Diamond Members have access to more benefits, have more flexibility and better pricing for certain benefits and transactions. Gold Members do not have access to certain benefits, have less flexibility and pay more for certain benefits and transactions. SFX, in its sole discretion, determines pricing and access to benefits for membership levels.
3. Acceptance of Membership. SFX reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any prospective member (“Applicant”) for any reason, or for no reason. Upon an Applicant’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and SFX advising an Applicant in writing that they have been accepted as a subscribing member of SFX (“Member”), the Applicant becomes a Member, and the Application constitutes a legally binding contract between SFX and the Member (“Contract”). Notwithstanding the terms of the Contract into which SFX and Member will be deemed to have entered, SFX reserves the right to modify any of the terms, conditions and benefits set forth therein or otherwise afforded to Member at any time without prior notice.
4. Participation in Exchange/Reservations. A Member’s participation in the Program commences upon acceptance by SFX of such Member.
a. Exchange/Reservation Request by Member. Member(s) may request an exchange/reservation at various destinations from fourteen (14) days to two (2) years in advance. SFX will use its best efforts to fulfill Member’s exchange/reservation request; however, it is understood by Member that SFX cannot guarantee fulfillment of any specific request (locations and/or dates, etc.), as all requests are subject to availability. Further, Member understands that the size, design, furnishings, and amenities, among other things, of the Resort Unit(s) into which Member may be confirmed, may differ from the accommodations of Member’s own Resort Unit(s). Member hereby accepts all such disparities and differences.
b. Deposit of Ownership Week. Member(s) may deposit their Ownership Week into their SFX account to exchange for a future week of vacation at another property offered by SFX. By so depositing their Ownership Week, the Member relinquishes all rights to use that week to SFX. Only the Ownership Week that is available for exchange may be deposited. By depositing the Ownership Week, the Member warrants to SFX that: (1) the Member has the legal right to use and assign the use of the deposited Ownership Week and all other resort amenities to which the Member has access; (2) the deposited Ownership Week has not been and will not be assigned, offered or made available by the Member to any third party; and, (3) the physical accommodations are in good and usable condition. An Ownership Week may be deposited by mail, telephone, or through SFX’s website at www.sfxresorts.com. Members who wish to deposit a Floating Ownership Week will be required to obtain unit and week assignments from their Home Resorts or Home Group before their Ownership Week can be deposited. In some instances, Members may be required to contact their Home Resort or Home Group and ask the Home Resort or Home Group to make a Deposit on the Member’s behalf. Member agrees and acknowledges that any deposited Ownership Weeks may be used by SFX for any commercial purpose, including but not limited to, Exchange Requests by Members, Bonus Weeks to Members and non-members, promotions, and marketing.All Ownership Weeks must be deposited in a full 8-day/7-night increment. Anything less will not be accepted. For a deposit to be accepted and placed in a Member’s account for exchange, Members may/ must deposit their Ownership Week with SFX during the time period from between twenty-four (24) months to and ninety (90) days before prior to the check-in date of the Ownership Week to being deposited. An Ownership Week that has a check-in date within ninety (90) days are subject to review prior to and may or may not be accepted. Some Home Resort(s) or Home Group(s) will not verify Member’s Ownership Week directly with SFX. In order to deposit an Ownership Week, Member will be required to submit an SFX guest name to their Home Resort or Home Group’s reservation department at such time SFX books the deposited week and notifies the depositing member with guest name. Failure to provide the Guest Confirmation will result in forfeiture of your deposited Ownership Week and Member will be responsible for providing a minimum payment of $1,000.00 to SFX or the actual cost of alternative accommodations, whichever is greater.
c. Non-Exchange/Reservation-Related Programs. From time to time, SFX may, in its sole discretion, offer other non-exchange/reservation-related programs to members and non-members, and/or permit third parties to offer such benefits. These ancillary programs may, in SFX’s sole discretion, be subject to terms and conditions, additional to, or apart from, those contained in this Application herein, which other Additional, terms and conditions may be changed without prior notice to Members. Members and Booked Guests hereby agree to be bound by such terms and conditions of all such other ancillary offerings. SFX accepts no responsibility for the acts/ or omissions of any third parties providing such offerings, either directly or indirectly through SFX, to Members and Booked Guests. All Terms and Conditions related to such programs, if different than those of SFX, shall prevail.
d. Accepting Upgrades & Offers From Resorts. From time to time, a resort may offer an SFX Member the opportunity to upgrade or modify their reservation in some way. When an SFX Member accepts such and offer, it nullifies the original confirmed reservation with SFX and subjects the new reservation to the Terms and Conditions between the SFX Member and the resort directly. At such time, all further questions, reservation modifications, and/or cancellation of the reservation should be handled between the SFX Member and the resort. SFX is no longer responsible for reservations that are agreed upon directly between an SFX Member and a resort.
e. Reservations for a Resort Escapes Listing. A Resort Escapes is valid for a reservation from our Resort Escapes listing. The booking does not cover airfare, transportation fees, resort fees, government-imposed taxes, meals, room upgrades, resort upgrades, extended stays, or any other fees accumulated during the vacation stay. The reservation cannot be held, and all guests’ names are required at the time of booking. Due to the short notice of the reservation, all bookings are final, and no cancellations or refunds are allowed. SFX members can book a total of 5 Resorts Escapes for themselves or a guest within a calendar year. To book and check-in to a Resort Escapes reservation at Diamond-member pricing, a member must maintain Diamond membership status at the time of booking and check-in date.
f. Resort Rules and Limitations. Certain Resorts or Resort Groups have implemented an occupation rule commonly referred to as “1-in-n.” This rule states that an SFX Member who has stayed at a particular resort through SFX, cannot stay at the same resort for a set number of years. The number of years is determined by the resort. In certain circumstances, the 1-in-n rule may apply to all resorts within a Resort Group, meaning that if an SFX Member has stayed at one resort that is part of a Resort Group, the SFX Member may not stay at any other resort in any location that Resort Group offers for a set period of time, determined by the Resort Group. Other resorts might enforce the 1-in-n rule by specific location only. In this circumstance, the SFX Member could be allowed to visit other locations offered by that Resort Group. For Resorts enforcing the 1-in-n rule, it is applicable regardless of how the accommodation is reserved (exchange, Bonus Week, rental, etc.) Additionally, certain Resort or Resort Groups have placed a limitation on the duration of stay an SFX Member and/or Guest(s) may book. SFX Member and/or Guest(s) cannot book a consecutive stay at any resort that exceeds the Resort or Resort Group’s restrictions. Many resorts that enforce these limitations will not honor bookings that attempt to violate their restrictions.
g. Subject to Availability. All bookings are subject to availability and the Terms & Conditions of the offer, if applicable. In the event offered resorts become unavailable due to any unforeseen events including, but not limited to; acts of physical or natural disaster, resort or agency insolvency, resort over-bookings, SFX reserves the right to offer alternative similar properties for booking.
h. Cancellation of Exchange/Reservation By SFX. SFX may, in its sole discretion, cancel a Resort Accommodation confirmation if (i) a Resort Accommodation confirmed to a Member and/ or Guest(s) by SFX becomes unavailable due to natural disaster, act of God, civil unrest, war, insurrection, over booking or any other reason beyond SFX’s control, and/or if (ii) a Member and/or Guest(s) becomes “suspended” following confirmation, but prior to completion, of an exchange/reservation. In such instance, the Member and/or Guest(s) hereby waive(s), hold(s) SFX harmless for, and indemnify(ies) SFX against, any and all claims against SFX for damages and/or any and all losses, including but not limited to, special, incidental, consequential, general and/or punitive damages.
