Section 690. Renewal and reinstatement of a time-share reseller registration

A. A time-share reseller registration issued under this chapter shall expire one year from the last day of the month in which it was issued. The fee specified in 18VAC48-45-70 shall be required for renewal.

B. Prior to the expiration date shown on the registration, a registration shall be renewed upon payment of the fees specified in 18VAC48-45-70 and submittal of proof of a current bond or letter of credit required in accordance with subsection E of 18VAC48-45-670.

C. The board will send a renewal notice to the regulant at the last known address of record. Failure to receive this notice shall not relieve the regulant of the obligation to renew. If the regulant fails to receive the renewal notice, a copy of the registration may be submitted with the required fees as an application for renewal. By submitting a renewal fee, the regulant is certifying continued compliance with this chapter, as applicable, and certifying that all documents required for registration pursuant to 18VAC48-45-680 on file with the board reflect the most current version used by the reseller.

D. If the requirements for renewal of a registration as specified in this chapter are not completed more than 30 days and within six months after the registration expiration date, the reinstatement fee specified in 18VAC48-50-70 shall be required.

E. A registration may be reinstated for up to six months following the expiration date. After six months, the registration may not be reinstated under any circumstances and the firm or individual must meet all current entry requirements and apply as a new applicant.

F. The board may deny renewal or reinstatement of registration for the same reasons as it may refuse initial registration or discipline a registrant.

G. The date the renewal application and fee are received in the office of the board shall determine whether a registration shall be renewed without reinstatement, or shall be subject to reinstatement application procedures.

H. A registration that is reinstated shall be regarded as having been continuously registered without interruption. Therefore, the registration holder shall remain under the disciplinary authority of the board during the entire period and shall be accountable for its activities during the period. Nothing in this chapter shall divest the board of its authority to discipline a registration holder for a violation of the law or regulation during the period of time for which the regulant was registered.

I. Applicants for renewal shall continue to meet all of the qualifications for registration set forth in 18VAC48-45-680.
