New/Stronger Anti-Renting Language in Add-on Docs

[3DisneyKids]

At the risk of starting another heated anti-renting thread (and that is not the intent here), I just received my paperwork for my AKV add-on and noticed what I considered to be very strong anti-renting language.

I should state that I am purchasing with a CM discount (thanks to my brother) and this paragraph was on the Cast Member Discount Agreement page. DVC/DVD requires all CMs and their family members to sign this document which basically states that we won't flip the property (purchase low with a discount and then sell on the resale market for a profit).

It seems that this time, at least, the language is quite clear about what is legal/allowable and what is not. Here is the passage in question...

"Purchaser may not use or transfer any of their Home Resort Vacation Points in a manner that competes with the Company. This includes, among other examples, the following:

Use of Purchaser's Home Resort Vacation Points to reserve Disney Vacation Club accommodations for rental purposes, or transfer of Purchaser's Home Resort Vacation Points to the account of another Disney Vacation Club member for rental purposes. Rental activity is in direct competition with The Walt Disney Company and is therefore constitutes a violation of the Company's Standards of Business Conduct."

For the first time, it seems that they are VERY clear on this issue. Thoughts?

Actually from what I have read on the boards over the past year this is the standrd language for any points bought with a CM discount.

Since that is not in the disclosure documents for sales to the public, this appears to be something particular to an employee sale that comes with a discount and applies while you are an employee (noting the reference to standards of business conduct for employees). There is serious doubt Disney can legally prohibit renting entirely and thus it is unlikely Disney could add this to its contracts with the public in general.
