Breaking time-share contract

What is the name of your state? CA

My aunt and uncle live in CA but took a vacation to Missouri and attended a dreaded time-share presentation. They ended up signing a contract on May 8, 2005. They've been too embarrassed to say anything until today. Now, of course, they'd like to get out of this contract.

They paid the one-time membership fee by credit card. The contract has the following language at the bottom:

"Notice to the buyer: (a) Do not sign this contract before you read it or if any space intended for the agreed terms except as to unavailable information are blank. (B) You are entitled to a copy of this contract at the time you sign it.

This is a legal binding non-cancelable contract.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL WITH NO RIGHT OF RECISSION"


There is one mistake on the contract. The date the contract is entered into is written as "5-8-03" instead of "5-8-05." Is this enough to invalidate the agreement?

It would seem that they've worded the contract to prevent people from backing out after they've regained their senses. They know what they're doing. Unfortunately, my aunt and uncle don't.

Thank you for any feedback.

No, the mistaken date would not invalidate the contract. A contract doesn't need to be dated to be binding anyhow.
