Written agreement for management of time-share plan and project; disclosure of annual revenue received by manager.
1. A developer or an affiliate of the developer shall provide for the management of the time-share plan and the project, by a written agreement with the association or, if there is no association, with the owners. The initial term of the agreement must expire upon the first annual meeting of the members of the association or at the end of 5 years, whichever comes first. All succeeding terms of the agreement must be renewed annually unless the manager refuses to renew the agreement or a majority of the members of the association who are entitled to vote, excluding the developer, notifies the manager of its refusal to renew the agreement.
2. The agreement must provide that:
(a) The manager or a majority of the owners may terminate the agreement for cause.
(b) The resignation of the manager will not be accepted until 90 days after receipt by the association, or if there is no association, by the owners, of the written resignation.
(c) A fidelity bond must be delivered by the manager to the association.
3. An agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2001, must contain a detailed, itemized schedule of all fees, compensation or other property that the manager is entitled to receive for services rendered to the association or any member of the association or otherwise derived from the manager’s affiliation with the time-share plan or the project, or both, unless the manager is the developer or an affiliate of the developer. Upon the request of the association, the manager shall disclose to the association annual revenue received by the manager from the manager’s affiliation with the time-share plan or the project, or both.
4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if the developer retains a property interest in the project, the parties to such an agreement must include the developer, the manager and the association. In addition to the provisions required in subsections 1 and 2, the agreement must provide:
(a) That the project will be maintained in good condition. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, any defect which is not cured within 10 days after notification by the developer may be cured by him. In an emergency situation, notice is not required. The association must repay the developer for any cost of the repairs plus the legal rate of interest. Each owner must be assessed for his share of the cost of repairs.
(b) That, if any dispute arises between the developer and the manager or association, either party may request from the American Arbitration Association or the Nevada Arbitration Association a list of seven potential fact finders from which one must be chosen to settle the dispute. The agreement must provide for the method of selecting one fact finder from this list.
(c) For the collection of assessments from the owners to pay obligations which may be due to the developer for breach of the covenant to maintain the premises in good condition and repair.
ÊIf the developer is not made a party to this agreement, he shall be considered to be a third-party beneficiary of such an agreement.
