Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions of Use presented here serve as a binding agreement between https://johnthomasfinancial.com (which will be referred to as “we,” “us,” “ours,” or “our Company” hereafter) and any site user (“Your,” “Yours,” “You,” the User(s),”) who uses this Website (referred to hereafter as the Site or Website). The company isn’t a lender, doesn’t represent any financial entities, doesn’t create financial products, provide financial services, nor make credit-based decisions. The Company connects its network of lenders with Website Users through a searching and matching service. In order for a User to gain access to the services of contracted third party lenders, they must fill out the web-based registration form.
We urge all users of the website to read this Terms and Conditions of Use document so that you are aware of our terms before utilizing any more services on the site or submitting any personal information. By doing either of those things, it implies that you have reviewed and understood not only this term but all other regulatory documents listed on the website, including our Privacy Policy.
Only adult residents of the United States are allowed to use this website. By continuing to use the site, you are confirming that you meet this criteria and live in an eligible state. The website’s services are not available to users who reside in New York, Vermont, West Virginia, or Arkansas due to these states’ specific regulations on short-term lending. The list of states in which short-term lending is prohibited may change over time. To check whether your state is on the list, you can follow the links provided to authority websites on our Rates and Fees page – these sites always have the most current information about state-specific regulations surrounding short-term lending in each individual US state.
If you do not accept the terms and conditions listed on this website, please leave immediately.
Company Services
As mentioned earlier, the Company does not lend money or make credit decisions. Instead, it connects independent third-party lenders with website users. These lenders can provide short-term loans of up to $1,000 to site users. The exact amount varies depending on state regulations. Because the Company doesn’t make credit decisions (only the third-party lenders do), they exclusively decide whether to approve your request for a loan. In addition, the loan providers also set the terms and conditions of their available loan products. These decisions are made individually, taking many different elements into consideration. The company cannot promise that every request for a loan will be approved when matched with a lender. Furthermore, we also can’t guarantee that the lender will offer you your desired amount or terms. Not all of our contracted lenders are contracted to provide $1,000 loans either.
If you have any questions or concerns about a loan offer or short-term lending in general, we suggest that you seek professional help. This type of credit can be quite expensive, and it should only be used for brief periods under ideal conditions. Please keep in mind that the Company is not involved in terms set by third-party lenders and thus bears no responsibility for their decisions. Furthermore, the Company can’t provide data on any of the credit operations.
In order to use the services we provide, you must first register on our website by filling out a form with your personal, employment, contact, and financial information. By continuing to use this site, you agree to our Terms and Conditions of Use as well as any other governing documents. Please note that the company is not responsible for any costs or damages incurred from communicating or cooperating with third-party lenders. We collect and use sensitive information, like your Social Security Number and bank account info, to help us match you with one of the lenders we work with. These third-party lenders can then approve your loan request and offer a product that meets the needs you indicated on our website form. To do this, we have to share your information with these lenders. Your personal information will be treated according to the guidelines set out in our Privacy Policy, Marketing Practices and Responsible Lending Policies. By submitting your details, you are confirming that you have read, understood and agreed to the provisions and practices in these policies as well as this Terms & Conditions document. When you submit your information on our website, it is considered a request for our matching service whereby we pair you with a contracted third-party lender. Therefore, the lenders we give Your information to can contact You through direct mail, phone calls, email and other types of media. They will offer You financial products that they think You might be interested in after looking at your personal details (excluding things like SSN or banking info). We may also share some of Your less sensitive personal details with third-party marketers that have a contract with us. Your lender may do the same thing so You receive more offers for different kinds of financial products.
The third party lenders we share your SSN and other personal details with can use those for credit verification checks. The results of these checks may influence the financial services and product offers the lenders extend to you.
Given that products are constantly changing, we cannot promise that the product you asked for will still be available by the time you need it. We also can’t provide detailed information about every service and credit product out there–if you want to know more about a specific financial transaction or service, please contact your provider directly.

Disputes
Any legal disputes that root from company usage or services are subject to the state’s legislation where the company is authorized to do business activities or offer their services. All disputes must be filed by sending an official complaint for arbitration through the required channels in compliance with federal and state regulations currently active at the time of submission. All disagreements that take place between the Company and its User may only be processed and fixed through arbitration, as set in this document’s terms. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions of Use, You are affirming that You forfeit Your right to have a lawyer present Yourself (or individually) in any court or before any judge. Likewise, You renounce Your entitlement to join class action lawsuits filed against the company.
If the User decides to participate in arbitration, they agree that compensatory damages (assigned by an arbitrator and authorized by American Arbitration Council) will not exceed the amount of damages originally claimed. Furthermore, no incidental, consequential or punitive damages can be awarded during this dispute because You have waived Your right to seek responsibility for such damage claims. The results of arbitration are binding for Users. In some cases where Users do not comply with these guidelines, the Company has authority to file a claim via another method in order outside jurisdiction’s court system.
If you disagree with the arbitration clauses found in this document, you have ten days from the date of your acceptance to notify the company by writing a letter. The request must be submitted to https://www.johnthomasfinancial.com/, and include your full name, phone number, mailing address, email address, as well as the statement: “I reject the Company’s arbitration clause as stated on the Website’s Terms and Conditions of Use document.” If you do not agree to this provision, you have one year to file a case in any court that is authorized to handle such cases.
