Hawaii Real Estate State Practice Exam

According to time share law, when must a presenter give a gift designed to induce attendance at a presentation?

1. At the end of the presentation

2. After the presentation is completed

3. Prior to or at the beginning of the presentation

4. Only if the prospect buys a time share

The correct answer is: Prior to or at the beginning of the presentation

Under Hawaii's time share law, a presenter is required to provide any gifts designed to induce attendance at a presentation either prior to or at the beginning of the presentation. This requirement is in place to ensure transparency and fair practice in the marketing of time share presentations. By providing the gift upfront, it allows potential attendees to make an informed decision about attending the presentation without the pressure or expectation of receiving the gift only after their attendance. This practice also helps to distinguish legitimate promotional activities from misleading tactics, thereby protecting consumers' interests. It promotes ethical behavior among presenters and helps maintain the integrity of the time share marketing process.
