Until the division approves such filing, any contract regarding the sale of that timeshare plan is subject to cancellation by the purchaser pursuant to s. 721.10.(1) The division shall, upon receiving a filed public offering statement from a developer, mail to the developer an acknowledgment of receipt. The failure of the division to send such acknowledgment will not, however, relieve the developer from the duty of complying with this section. (2)(a) Within 45 days after receipt of a filed public offering statement which is subject only to this part and is submitted in proper form as prescribed by rule, or within 120 days after receipt of a filed public offering statement which is subject to part II and is submitted in proper form as prescribed by rule, the division shall determine whether the proposed filed public offering statement is adequate to meet the requirements of this section and shall notify the developer by mail that the division has either approved the statement or found specified deficiencies in the statement. If the division fails to approve the statement or specify deficiencies in the statement within the period specified in this paragraph, the filing will be deemed approved. (b) If the developer fails to respond to any cited deficiencies within 20 days after receipt of the division’s deficiency notice, the division may reject the filing. Subsequent to such rejection, a new filing fee pursuant to subsection (4) and a new division initial review period pursuant to paragraph (a) shall apply to any refiling or further review of the rejected filing. (c) Within 20 days after receipt of the developer’s timely and complete response to any deficiency notice, the division shall notify the developer by mail that the division has either approved the filing, found additional specified deficiencies in it, or determined that any previously specified deficiency has not been corrected. If the division fails to approve or specify additional deficiencies within 20 days after receipt of the developer’s timely and complete response, the filing will be deemed approved.
