Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using our website or services. These Terms govern your use of pawnshopnotary.com and all notary services provided by The Pawn Shop Notary. By using our Site or services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website at pawnshopnotary.com (the "Site") or purchasing any notary services from The Pawn Shop Notary ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Site or services.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and The Pawn Shop Notary, a notary public business operating in the State of Florida.

2. Description of Services

The Pawn Shop Notary provides professional notary public services including, but not limited to, in-shop notarization at our Fort Lauderdale, Florida location; mobile notary services within Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties; single-document and multi-document notarization packages; after-hours, weekend, and holiday notary services (subject to availability); and hospital and care facility notary visits (subject to availability).

All notary services are performed by a commissioned Florida Notary Public (Commission #HH 846406) in accordance with Florida Statutes Chapter 117 and applicable law.

We reserve the right to refuse service at our sole discretion, including but not limited to situations where a signer appears to lack capacity, is under duress, or where the document or transaction appears fraudulent or unlawful.

3. Appointments and Scheduling

Service appointments may be scheduled through our website, by phone, or by email. Appointment availability is subject to change without notice.

For mobile notary services, you are responsible for providing a safe, accessible, and adequately lit location for the notarization to take place.

Please ensure all signers are present, have valid government-issued photo identification, and that all documents are complete (unsigned) at the time of the appointment. We cannot notarize incomplete documents or documents that have already been signed.

4. Payment Terms

Payment is due at the time of service or, for online orders, at the time of checkout. We accept major credit and debit cards processed securely through GoDaddy Payments.

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. The price displayed at checkout is the price you will be charged.

For mobile notary services, travel fees are calculated based on distance from our Fort Lauderdale location and are disclosed prior to checkout. Additional per-notarial-act fees may apply depending on the number of documents requiring notarization.

After-hours, weekend, and holiday surcharges are applied where indicated and will be clearly itemized before purchase.

You agree to pay all charges incurred in connection with your order, including applicable taxes and fees.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

We understand that plans change. Our cancellation and refund policy is as follows:

In-Shop Services

No advance payment is required for in-shop appointments. If you are unable to attend, please notify us as soon as possible as a courtesy so we may accommodate other clients.

Mobile Notary Services — Cancellations

If you cancel a mobile notary appointment at least 2 hours before the scheduled time, you will receive a full refund. Cancellations made less than 2 hours before the appointment, or no-shows where the notary has already departed, are non-refundable due to travel time and costs incurred.

Refunds for Service Not Rendered

If we are unable to complete the notarization due to circumstances within our control (e.g., notary unavailability, error on our part), you will receive a full refund.

Refunds for Incomplete Notarizations

If a notarization cannot be completed due to circumstances outside our control — including but not limited to a signer lacking valid ID, documents being incomplete or pre-signed, a signer lacking capacity, or a signer refusing to sign — the service fee is non-refundable. Travel fees for mobile services are non-refundable in these circumstances.

Refund Processing

Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.

6. User Conduct

You agree to use our Site and services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use our services to notarize fraudulent, forged, or unlawful documents; provide false identification or misrepresent your identity; attempt to coerce, deceive, or unduly influence any signer; use our Site in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the Site; attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or its related systems; or use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access the Site without our written permission.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, and software — is the property of The Pawn Shop Notary or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or exploit any content from this Site without our prior written consent.

8. Privacy

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY FLORIDA LAW, THE PAWN SHOP NOTARY AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OUR SITE OR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Pawn Shop Notary and its owners, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of our Site or services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at josh@pawnshopnotary.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve the matter within 30 days of receiving your written notice.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Broward County, Florida. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE PAWN SHOP NOTARY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Broward County, Florida to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. These links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

14. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.

Your continued use of our Site or services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

15. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and The Pawn Shop Notary with respect to your use of our Site and services, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
