VII. DISNEY VACATION CLUB OPERATIONS
1. Annual Dues. Around the beginning of each calendar year, Club Members will receive a statement setting forth their
Annual Dues. Annual Dues are based on calendar years, not on Use Years. These Annual Dues may be paid in one of two
ways:
a. A single lump-sum payment due on or before the due date. Annual Dues are considered past due on the date
set forth in the governing documents for each DVC Resort or the arrival date of a reservation made with Home
Resort Vacation Points, whichever is earlier. If the Club Member’s payment arrives on or after the past due
date, interest will accrue from due date, and a late fee may be imposed.
b. Equal monthly direct debit installments collected by the 1
st
or 15
th
of each month. The number of such
installments will be determined by the mailing of the statement of Annual Dues. The monthly payment option
is only available on a direct debit basis from a U.S. bank account.
Notwithstanding the Annual Dues payment procedure set forth in these Rules and Regulations, the board of
directors of the Association for each DVC Resort may amend the due date, past due date, the number of direct
debit installments, and the collection date for direct debit installments from time to time.
2. Lock-Out. Pursuant to the governing documents for each DVC Resort and applicable law, DVC Operator is
authorized to deny membership privileges to any Club Member who fails to pay Annual Dues with respect to any
Ownership Interest that the Club Member owns or fails to adhere to the requirements of any of the governing documents
for their Home Resort or another DVC Resort or the Club (“Lock-out”). Reservations associated with a Club membership
that is in Lock-out status may be canceled and all cancellation fees or penalties will be the responsibility of the Club
Member. Lock-out status will prevent the Club Member from making any reservations with respect to their Club
membership either at their Home Resort or at any other DVC Resort through the DVC Reservation Component, checking
in at any DVC Resort in the event of an already confirmed reservation, Banking or Borrowing Home Resort Vacation
Points, Transferring Home Resort Vacation Resorts, making an External Exchange Program reservation, or accessing
or using any other Club Member benefit program. It will also prohibit the use of any of the accommodations and facilities
of the Club Member’s Home Resort or any other DVC Resort unless and until the total amount of the delinquent Annual
Dues is satisfied in full with guaranteed funds or the violation of the governing document is remedied, as determined by
DVC Operator in its discretion. If a Club Member is prohibited from making a reservation or using accommodations and
facilities at their Home Resort, the Club Member will also automatically be prohibited from making a reservation or using
accommodations and facilities at any other DVC Resort, except as permitted by DVC Operator in its discretion.
VIII. MISCELLANEOUS
1. Amendments. DVC Operator reserves the right to amend these Rules and Regulations, in its discretion. These changes
may affect a Club Member’s right to use, exchange, or rent the Club Member’s Ownership Interest and may impose
obligations upon the use and enjoyment of the Club Member’s Ownership Interest and the appurtenant Club Membership.
Club Members will be notified of any such changes through Member Services publications, including posting on a Club
website. Current publications supersede prior publications with respect to the terms and conditions of these Rules and
Regulations.
2. Interpretation. Where the context so indicates, a word in the singular form shall include the plural. The term “include”
and similar terms (e.g., includes, including, included, comprises, comprising, such as, e.g., including but not limited to,
including without limitation, and for example), when used as part of a phrase including one or more specific items, are not
words of limitation and are not to be construed as being limited to only the listed items. Whenever the consent or approval
of DVC Operator, Member Services, or DVD is referred to in this Agreement or the taking of any action under these Rules
and Regulations is subject to the consent or approval of DVC Operator, Member Services, or DVD, it shall mean DVC
Operator’s, Member Services’, or DVD’s prior written approval to be given or withheld in its discretion. Further, any references
to the use, exercise, or grant of the right of a DVC Operator’s, Member Services’, or DVD’s discretion as set forth in these
Rules and Regulations shall mean DVC Operator’s, Member Services’, or DVD’s sole, absolute, and unfettered discretion
to the exclusion of any other person unless specifically provided otherwise. No provision of these Rules and Regulations
shall be construed against the DVC Operator because the DVC Operator provided for the drafting of these Rules and
Regulations. The use of headings, captions, and numbers in these Rules and Regulations are solely for the convenience of
