  4. Our Services We provide you with an opportunity to apply for a Pawn Loan. Please note that all Pawn loans are subject to our approval of your application and our evaluation of the Property. Pawnit reserves the right to refuse any Pawn Loan application at any time prior to the completion of the Pawn Loan. To apply for a Pawn Loan, you must complete the Pawn Loan application available here pawnit.com/get-started. Please review our FAQ “How It Works available at pawnit.com/how-does-pawnit-work to learn more about how our process works. The Pawn Ticket Agreement includes information that we are required by law to provide to you, including but not limited to a description of the Property, the term of the Pawn Ticket Agreement, the service charge and all other fees, the annual percentage rate, how to rescind the sale early, and the total amount required to rescind the sale and redeem the Property.
    1. Restrictions on our Services-There are some limitations on our Services. We reserve the right to accept Pawn Loan applications in our sole discretion. For example, we have a minimum transaction size of $250, as further described in our “Rates & Terms” FAQ available at pawnit.com/faq. We do not accept certain types of Property, as further described on our website, or by calling us at the number shown on our website. We reserve the right to refuse to accept certain types of Property as collateral at our sole discretion. While we may be able to make a payment to you with 24 hours of your submission of a Pawn Loan application, this timing is contingent upon your compliance with our process and shipping instructions and there maybe additional charges, as well as other factors as further described in our “How It Works” FAQ.
    2. Fees and other Charges-We charge fees for our Services. You will be given an opportunity to review and accept the fees that will be charged in connection with each Pawn Loan. Please review our terms regarding our rates, fees, and other charges at our FAQ “Rates and Terms” available at pawnit.com/faq. We will charge you applicable taxes, if any. All fees and currency amounts are quoted in U.S. Dollars. Pawnit may, in its sole discretion, change our standard fees, rates, and other charges. Any such changes will be posted on the “Rates and Terms” page, and such amended fees and charges will apply to any Pawn Loan entered into after the date of such change.
    3. Shipping Procedures-Pawnit will provide you a pre-paid shipping label by so that you may ship your Property to us via UPS. Alternatively, you may arrange for your own shipping through a carrier of your choice and at our own expense. In the event you use the shipping label provided by Pawnit, your Property will be insured for up to $100 by UPS and will be covered by our supplemental insurance policy thereafter. In the event you use your own shipping label and packaging, you must insure your property with the carrier for its full value and if it is lost or stolen prior to reaching Pawnit, you must make a claim against the carrier. If you use the Pawnit provided shipping label, and wish to insure your Property with UPS for more than $100, or if you wish to ship the items faster than UPS 2nd Day Air service, you may do so at your own expense. Pawnit may, at your request, pay these additional charges and deduct the amount from you Pawn Loan proceeds. It is your responsibility to obtain and retain a receipt for shipping from the shipping agent. This receipt should include a unique tracking code, and this receipt will be required for any insurance claim. You must also ensure that you can produce photograph (s) of your Property as well as at least one document per item which will prove ownership and the current value of your Property. In addition to the UPS shipping insurance coverage, Pawnit provides supplementary insurance on your valuable during shipping with UPS. This coverage supplements the UPS insurance in the event that any actual loss is not fully covered by the UPS insurance coverage. The supplemental insurance covers the actual loss based on the current fair market value of your item. Please note that it is your responsibility to keep safe all documentation relating to your Property that would be required in support of an insurance claim, including, but not limited to any purchase receipts, shipping receipts, certificates, valuations, insurance documents or photos.
    4. Packaging-It is your responsibility to ensure that your items are securely and appropriately packaged, including the use of additional and/or item specific packaging. Pawnit cannot be held responsible for damage to items sent in inappropriate packaging. Pawnit reserves the right to reject delivery of any package which appears to be damaged, opened, or tampered with. Any such item will be returned to you without further liability to Pawnit. Should you make a payment in full to redeem your Property, or decline to proceed with a Pawn Loan after you have shipped your Property, Pawnit will ship the Property back to you within 2 business days of notice to Pawnit of either event. The Property will be shipped either via UPS, Certified Signature required to the postal address listed on the Pawn Ticket Agreement or, in the case of a Property return if you decline to proceed with a Pawn Loan, the most recent postal address you have provided. Should you require the Property to be returned to an address that is different than the address reflected on the Pawn Ticket Agreement, you must provide Pawnit with a copy of a current photo ID acceptable to Pawnit that reflects the revised address.
