186Consumer Services.

188P RELIMINARY S TATEM ENT

193On July 30, 2019, Petitioner , Michael Warren , and his wife, Barbara

204Warren, attended a sales presentation and entered into a contract with

215Respondent, Luxury Vacations in Paradise, Inc. (ÑLuxury VacationsÒ), a seller

225of travel. The Warrens soon regrett ed their purchase and began attempting

237to cancel it and obtain the return of their money. Having failed in their

251attempts to cancel with the seller, the Warrens , on or about September 25,

2642019, filed a claim against the performance bond that Luxury Vacatio ns, as a

278seller of travel, was required to file with the Department of Agriculture and

291Consumer Services (the ÑDepartment Ò ) pursuant to section 559.929, Florida

302Statutes.

303Luxury Vacations contested the bond claim and requested a formal

313hearing pursuant t o sections 120.569 and 120.57(1), Florida Statutes, via an

325Election of Rights form filed with the Department. The form is undated but

338no party raised any issue as to the timing of its filing. On January 13, 2021,

354the Department forwarded the matter to DOAH for the assignment of an ALJ

367and the conduct of a formal hearing. The case was scheduled for hearing on

381March 12, 2021, on which date it was convened and completed.

392At the hearing, Mr. Warren testified on his own behalf and presented the

405testimony of hi s wife, Barbara Warren. PetitionerÔs Composite Exhibit A was

417admitted without objection. Luxury Vacations presented the testimony of its

427corporate representative, Blake Adams. RespondentÔs Composite Exhibit A

435was admitted without objection. Respondent , Ame rican Contractors

443Indemnity Company , offered no witnesses or exhibits; however, its corporate

453representative, Garen Kapsarian, offered legal argument.

459Section 559.929(3) provides that the Department Ñshall act only as a

470nominal partyÒ in these proceedings . Thus, the Department did not actively

482participate in the final hearing.

487No Transcript of the final hearing was ordered. Respondent , American

497Contractors Indemnity Company , timely filed its Proposed Recommended

505Order on March 22, 2021. Petitioner filed a brief response to that Proposed

518Recommended Order on March 22, 2021. Respondent , Luxury Vacations , did

528not make any post - hearing filings.

535F INDINGS OF F ACT

540Based on the evidence adduced at hearing, and the record as a whole, the

554following Findings of Fact are made:

5601. On July 30, 2019, Michael and Barbara Warren, a retired couple living

573in Clermont, attended a ÑVacation SeminarÒ sponsored by Vacations Plus

583Travel, a North Carolina based company that operates as an alter ego of

596Luxury Vacations, which is ba sed in Florida. The seminar was staged in a

610conference room of the Hampton Inn in Clermont.

6182. The Warrens were lured by the promise of a free cruise if they listened

633to a sales presentation by representatives of Vacations Plus Travel.

6433. Mr. Warren testif ied that they were subjected to intense sales pressure

656to buy a software license that they were told would give them access to Ñtrue

671wholesale pricesÒ on all their travel needs, from transportation to lodging, for

683the rest of their lives. The price of the license was in excess of $7,000 , but the

701salesman promised it would more than pay for itself in savings. Mr. Warren

714placed the full purchase amount of $7,593.00 on a credit card.

7264. The ÑReservation Services License AgreementÒ signed by the Warrens

736stated in bold type:

740Assuming the Licensee(s) has not accessed any

747benefits and has returned all materials delivered to

755them at closing, the Licensee(s) has the right to

764rescind this transaction within a period of three (3)

773days by sending notice of cancellation via certified

781mail, return receipt requested.

7855. Almost immediately after leaving the seminar, the Warrens regretted

795their purchase. They began calling the toll free phone number listed in their

808purchase documents to cancel the contract. No one ever answe red the phone.

821Ms. Warren testified that she managed to leave a voice message stating that

834they wished to cancel the contract but the call was never returned. The

847Warrens did not send a notice of cancellation via certified mail.

8586. Mr. Warren testified tha t on August 19, 2019, he received an email

872from Luxury Vacations with instructions on using its website, including a

883password. Mr. Warren testified that he signed onto the website but that it

896was not functional. There was a home page , but clicking on any o f the

911proffered links returned only a blank page.

9187. Mr. Warren stated that he and his wife were away from home for a time

934after August 19, 2019, and took no further action either to cancel the contract

948or use the website.

9528. When they came home, the Warr ens again signed onto the Luxury

965Vacations website and this time found it to be functional. Mr. Warren

977testified that the website was not at all what was promised at the seminar in

992Clermont. The website was essentially a presentation of advertisements for

1002vacation rentals, minus any information on price comparisons that would

1012enable the Warrens to determine the savings they might realize by booking

1024through the Luxury Vacations site. The properties themselves were also not

1035to the WarrensÔ s liking.

10409. Mr. Wa rren testified that he and his wife decided they would never

1054recoup the cost of the license and again attempted to cancel by phoning the

1068number provided with their contract materials. Again, they were unable to

1079speak to anyone or get any kind of response f rom Luxury Vacations.

109210. The Warrens sent a letter to Luxury Vacations, via certified mail, on

1105August 27, 2019, informing the company of their inability to use the website

1118and requesting cancellation of the contract. They heard nothing from the

1129company.

113011. Having failed to cancel the contract by direct means, the Warrens

1142contacted their credit card company to dispute the transaction.

115112. Blake Adams, the CEO of Luxury Vacations, testified that the

1162company was ÑblindsidedÒ by the WarrensÔ s dispute of the credit card charges

1175because up to that point the company had heard nothing from the Warrens.

1188As adamantly as Mr. Warren testified that he and his wife made repeated

1201efforts to contact the company, Mr. Adams just as adamantly testified that

1213the company had no record of any calls from the Warrens and no

1226correspondence of any kind prior to receiving the notice of dispute from the

1239credit card provider.

124213. Luxury Vacations provided sufficient information to the credit card

1252provider to uphold the purchase and re ceive the funds for the WarrensÔ s

1266license purchase.

126814. The WarrensÔ s cancellation letter had been misdelivered and did not

1280reach Luxury Vacations until September 16, 2019. A December 31, 2020,

1291letter to the Warrens from Stephanie Sorrentino, an employee o f Luxury

1303Vacations, states that upon receiving the cancellation letter, the company

1313contacted the Warrens to explain that their account was active and to inform

1326them of how to use the services they had purchased.

133615. The Warrens denied ever being contacted by Ms. Sorrentino or anyone

1348else from Luxury Vacations. Mr. Warren timely filed the claim for $7,593.00

1361against the performance bond with the Department on or about

1371September 25, 2019.

137416. Mr. Adams testified that Mr. WarrenÔs testimony about seeing only

1385advertisements on the Luxury Vacations Ô website showed that Mr. Warren

1396was never actually logged into the website. Mr. Adams stated that the splash

1409page of the website includes advertising, but that once the user logs into the

1423licensed portion of the site there are no advertisements.

143217. Mr. Warren testified that he is a retired engineer and circuit designer

1445and is perfectly capable of signing on to a website.

145518. The parties also disputed the events of July 31, 2019, the day after the

1470Warrens signed the co ntract with Luxury Vacations. Mr. Adams testified that

1482his company was at the Hampton Inn in Clermont all day on July 31, 2019,

1497presenting another sales seminar. He stated that the Warrens could have

1508come to the Hampton Inn and discussed rescission of thei r contract with the

1522on - site representative of the company.

152919. Ms. Warren testified that she in fact went back to the Hampton Inn on

1544July 31, 2019, and that no one from Luxury Vacations was there.

155620. Mr. Adams testified that the Warrens have an active con tract with

1569Luxury Vacations and the company remains ready to assist the couple in

1581achieving the savings promised at the sales seminar.

158921. In summary, the Warrens present a sympathetic case. They were

1600subjected to a high - pressure sales pitch and succumbed. Once away from the

1614pressurized sales environment, they regretted their purchase and took some

1624steps to rescind it. They repeatedly phoned the number provided by Luxury

1636Vacations. However, the one thing they did not do was take the action

1649specifically set forth in the contract they had just signed: send notice of

1662cancellation within a period of three days via certified mail, return receipt

1674requested. They waited until August 27, 2019, to send a written notice of

1687cancellation to Luxury Vacations.

169122. Section 559.929(2) provides that the performance bond at issue in this

1703proceeding must be in favor of the Department and is for Ñthe use and benefit

1718of a consumer who is injured by the fraud, misrepresentation, breach of

1730contract, or financial failure, or any oth er violation of this part by the seller of

1746travel.Ò There is no evidence that Luxury Vacations committed fraud,

1756misrepresentation, or that it breached its contract with the Warrens. Luxury

1767Vacations did not fail financially. Therefore, the Warrens may only succeed in

1779claiming against the bond by showing that Luxury Vacations violated part XI

1791of chapter 559.

179423. At the hearing, the undersigned raised the possibility that section

1805559.932, titled ÑVacation Certificate Disclosure,Ò might apply in this case.

1816Res pondents argued that this statute did not apply because Luxury

1827Vacations does not sell Ñvacation certificates,Ò which are defined in section

1839559.927(14) as:

1841any arrangement, plan, program, vacation package,

1847or advance travel purchase that promotes,

1853discuss es, or discloses a destination or itinerary or

1862type of travel, whereby a purchaser is entitled to

1871the use of travel, accommodations, or facilities for

1879any number of days, whether certain or uncertain,

1887during the period in which the certificate can be

1896exerc ised, and no specific date or dates for its use

1907are designated. A vacation certificate does not

1914include prearranged travel or tourist - related

1921services when a seller of travel remits full payment

1930for the cost of such services to the provider or

1940supplier wit hin 10 business days of the purchaserÔs

1949initial payment to the seller of travel. The term

1958does not include travel if exact travel dates are

1967selected, guaranteed, and paid for at the time of the

1977purchase.

197824. Respondents were correct that the software lice nse at the heart of the

1992contract between the Warrens and Luxury Vacations did not meet the

2003definition of a Ñvacation certificate.Ò However, the undersigned raised the

2013possibility that the statutory language of section 559.932 reaches more than

2024vacation cer tificates, in spite of its title:

2032(1) A seller of travel must provide each person

2041solicited with a contract that includes the following

2049information, which shall be in 12 - point type, unless

2059otherwise specifiedÈ.

206125. The quoted language does not appear con fined to sales of vacation

2074certificates but applicable to any solicitation by a Ñseller of travelÒ such as

2087Luxury Vacations. Part of the information that must be included in the

2099contract is the following:

2103(h) In immediate proximity to the space reserved

2111in the contract for the date and the name, address,

2121and signature of the purchaser, the following

2128statement in boldfaced type of a size of 10 points:

2138ÑYOU MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT

2143WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION

2148WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF

2155PURCHASE OR RECEIPT OF THE VACATION

2161CERTIFICATE, WHICHEVER OCCURS LATER.Ò

2165ÑYOU MAY ALSO CANCEL THIS CONTRACT IF

2172ACCOMMODATIONS OR FACILITIES ARE NOT

2177AVAILABLE PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR

2183USE AS PROVIDED IN THE CONTRACT.Ò

2189ÑTO CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, A SIGNED

2195AND DATED COPY OF A STATEMENT THAT

2202YOU ARE CANCELING THE AGREEMENT

2207SHOULD BE MAILED AND POSTMARKED, OR

2213DELIVERED TO (NAME) AT (ADDRESS) NO

2219LATER THAN MIDNIGHT OF (DATE) .Ò

222526. Respondents conceded that if this provision were applicable in the

2236instant ca se, and Luxury Vacations had been required to give the Warrens

224930 days in which to cancel their contract, then the WarrensÔ s August 27,

22632019, cancellation letter was timely. However, Respondents continued to

2272argue that section 559.932, taken as a whole, is plainly intended to apply

2285only to contracts for vacation certificates.

229127. After careful review of the statute and the Proposed Recommended

2302Order of American Contractors Indemnity Company, the undersigned is

2311persuaded that Respondents have read section 559.932 correctly. The statute

2321provides ten discrete provisions that a contract must contain, most of which

2333are clearly directed to the terms and conditions for stays at specific

2345destinations. Nearly all of these provisions would be inapplicable to the

2356sof tware licensing contract but would nonetheless be mandatory if section

2367559.932 applied to this contract.

237228. Further indication that the 30 - day notice requirement is applicable

2384only to vacation certificates is section 559.933, titled Ñ Vacation certifica te

2396cancellation and refund provisions,Ò subsection (1)(a) of which provides:

2406(1) A seller of travel or an assignee must honor a

2417purchaserÔs request to cancel a vacation certificate

2424if such request is made:

2429(a) Within 30 days after the date of purchase or

2439receipt of the vacation certificate, whichever occurs

2446laterÈ.

244729. Section 559.933 is replete with references to the 30 - day cancellation

2460requirement and is clearly limited to vacation certificates.

246830. Aside f rom the 30 - day cancellation period for vacation certificates,

2481part XI of chapter 559 appears to mandate no specific time period for

2494cancellations of contracts.

249731. Looking farther afield, the Federal Trade CommissionÔs ÑCooling OffÒ

2507rule, 16 C . F . R . § 429, gives a consumer in the WarrensÔ s position three days

2527to cancel a sale. Sections 501.021 - .055, Florida Statutes, provide

2538substantially the same right to cancel a Ñhome solicitation sale,Ò which by

2551definition includes the transaction at issue in this proce eding. See

2562§ 501.021(1), Fla. Stat.

256632. Luxury VacationsÔ notice of cancellation rights did not comply fully

2577with the letter of section 501.031, which provides:

2585Every home solicitation sale shall be evidenced by a

2594writing as provided in this section.

2600(1) In a home solicitation sale, the seller must

2609present to and obtain from the buyer his or her

2619signature to a written agreement or offer to

2627purchase which designates, as the date of the

2635transaction, the date on which the buyer actually

2643signs and which contai ns a statement of the buyerÔs

2653rights, which statement complies with subsection

2659(2).

2660(2) The statement must:

2664(a) Appear under the conspicuous caption,

2670ÑBUYERÔS RIGHT TO CANCELÒ;

2674(b) Read as follows: ÑThis is a home solicitation

2683sale, and if you do not want the goods or services,

2694you may cancel this agreement by providing

2701written notice to t he seller in person, by telegram,

2711or by mail. This notice must indicate that you do

2721not want the goods or services and must be

2730delivered or postmarked before midnight of the

2737third business day after you sign this agreement. If

2746you cancel this agreement, th e seller may not keep

2756all or part of any cash down payment.Ò

276433. The Luxury Vacations Ô contract provision was not consistent with

2775section 501.031. It did not include a Ñconspicuous captionÒ of ÑBUYERÔS

2786RIGHT TO CANCELÒ in all capital letters. It did not i nclude the statutory

2800language verbatim. The cancellation language in the Luxury Vacations Ô

2810contract was printed in bold type but no larger than the other language and

2824was not on the page signed by the Warrens. The Luxury Vacations Ô

2837cancellation clause limi ted the exercise of the cancellation right to written

2849notice via certified mail; the statute provides that the buyer may cancel in

2862person, by telegram, or by mail.

286834. The relevant statutes provide that any person making home

2878solicitation sales must first obtain a permit from the clerk of the court of the

2893county in which the sales are to take place. § 501.022(2), Fla. Stat. The clerk

2908of the court may revoke, suspend, or deny issuance of a home solicitation

2921sales permit for failure to comply with any provisi on of sections 501.021 - .055.

2936§ 501.022(4), Fla. Stat. The Attorney General or a state attorney may initiate

2949proceedings to enjoin any person found to be violating the provisions of

2961sections 501.021 - .055. § 501.052, Fla. Stat. There are criminal penalties t hat

2975attach to violations of the cited sections. See § 501.055, Fla. Stat.

298735. However, the home solicitation sales statutes are silent as to any

2999direct remedy that a consumer may pursue for the failure of a home

3012solicitation seller to abide by the notice p rovision of section 501.031. Also, the

3026terms of the performance bond statute limit consumer claims to violations of

3038part XI of chapter 559. The undersigned was unable to find a provision of

3052part XI that would encompass the home solicitation sellerÔs cancel lation

3063notice requirements. 1

3066C ONCLUSIONS OF L AW

307136. DOAH has jurisdiction of the subject matter of and the parties to this

3085proceeding. §§ 120.569 and 120.57(1), Fla. Stat.

309237. Section 559.927(11) defines Ñseller of travelÒ to mean:

3101any resident or nonres ident person, firm,

3108corporation, or business entity that offers, directly

3115or indirectly, prearranged travel or tourist - related

3123services for individuals or groups, including, but

3130not limited to, vacation packages, or vacation

3137certificates in exchange for a fee, commission, or

31451 Section 559.934, titled ÑDeceptive and unfair trade practice,Ò provides that Ñ[a]cts, conduct,

3159practices, omissions, failings, misrepresentations, or nondisclosures which c onstitute a

3169violation of this part also constitute a deceptive and unfair trade practice for the purpose of

3185s. 501.201 and administrative rules promulgated thereunder. Ò However, the statute does not

3198provide for the reverse, i.e., that a violation of chapte r 501 also constitutes a violation of part

3216XI of chapter 559. Thus, Luxury VacationsÔ failure to comply fully with section 501.031 doe s

3232not establish a ground to claim against the performance bond under section 559.929(2).

3245other valuable consideration. The term includes

3251such person, firm, corporation, or business entity

3258who sells a vacation certificate to third - party

3267merchants for a fee, or in exchange for a

3276commission, or who offers such certificates to

3283consumers in exchange for attendance at sales

3290presentations. The term also includes any business

3297entity offering membership in a travel club or

3305travel services for an advance fee or payment, even

3314if no travel contracts or certificates or vacation or

3323tour p ackages are sold by the business entity. The

3333term does not include third parties who may offer

3342prearranged travel or tourist - related services, but

3350do not participate in travel fulfillment or vacation

3358certificate redemption.

336038. It is undisputed that Luxur y Vacations meets the definition of Ñseller

3373of travel.Ò

337539. Section 559.929 requires sellers of travel to submit a performance

3386bond with the Department. Section 559.929 provides, in relevant part:

3396(2) The bond must be filed with the department

3405on a form adopted by department rule and must be

3415in favor of the department for the use and benefit of

3426a consumer who is injured by the fraud,

3434misrepresentation, breach of contract, or financial

3440failure, or any o ther violation of this part by the

3451seller of travel . Such liability may be enforced by

3461proceeding in an administrative action as specified

3468in subsection (3) or by filing a civil action. The bond

3479must be open to successive claims, but the

3487aggregate amount a warded may not exceed the

3495amount of the bondÈ.

3499(3) A consumer may file a claim against the bond.

3509Such claim, which must be submitted in writing on

3518an affidavit form adopted by department rule, must

3526be submitted to the department within 120 days

3534after an alleged injury has occurred or is discovered

3543to have occurred or a judgment has been entered.

3552The proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to

3559chapter 120. For proceedings conducted pursuant to

3566ss. 120.569 and 120.57, the agency shall act only as

3576a nominal party.

357940. It is undisputed that Mr. WarrenÔs claim against the performance

3590bond was timely filed.

359441. As explained in the Findings of Fact above, Mr. Warren failed to

3607establish that he and his wife were Ñinjured by the fraud, misrepresentation,

3619breach of contract, or financial failure, or any other violati on of this partÒ by

3634Luxury Vacations. The Warrens allowed themselves to fall victim to a high -

3647pressure sales pitch and then failed to cancel the contract according to the

3660express terms provided by Luxury Vacations. They failed to establish that

3671they suffer ed an injury contemplated by section 559.929(2).

368042. This Recommended Order should not be read as a vindication or

3692approval of Luxury VacationsÔ sales practices as described at the hearing. In

3704their submissions, the Warrens included scores of Better Busine ss Bureau

3715complaints filed against Luxury Vacations that made allegations similar to

3725those made by the Warrens in this case. These complaints were pure hearsay

3738and were not considered as evidence in the writing of this Recommended

3750Order. However, they shou ld be read as fair warning to prospective

3762customers of such businesses to perform their due diligence before paying

3773thousands of dollars for a software license.

3780R ECOMMENDATION

3782Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is

3795R ECOMME NDED that the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

3806issue a final order denying Michael WarrenÔs claim of $7,593.00 against the

3819performance bond of Luxury Vacations in Paradise, Inc.
