Weekown's little dog mascot

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers, warmly given. No fine print here.

What is the PAWS Promise? ๐Ÿพ

It is our pause policy, and it is simple. "We don't want you to feel trapped."

  • Pause anytime, up to 21 days at a time, with a tap in your dashboard.
  • Keep 100% of every dollar you've paid โ€” all credited to your item, nothing forfeited. Your price stays locked.
  • Your payment streak freezes while you pause. It never breaks.

Pauses take a couple of days to take effect โ€” a debit already on its way can't be stopped the same day. Caps and details live in the layaway agreement.

How do pauses work?

Tap "Pause" in your dashboard. Your next payments are skipped for up to 21 days. You can do this whenever you need to โ€” no phone calls, no questions, no guilt.

Give us a couple of days for the pause to take effect (a payment already in flight can't be stopped same-day). When you're ready, unpause and pick up exactly where you left off. Your streak and your progress stay right where they were.

What are Bones? ๐Ÿฆด

Bones are Weekown's loyalty points โ€” the little dog earns bones, and so do you.

You earn Bones for paying on time, hitting payment streaks (including a bonus for long streaks), and referring friends. Bones are also awarded as prizes on the leaderboard and when you start a new contract.

Bones add up and can be redeemed toward future purchases. Watch your balance grow in your dashboard.

What happens if I miss a payment?

Life happens โ€” we'll send you a reminder so you can catch up. There are no tricks here and nothing is taken from you.

If you know a payment will be tight, remember: you can always pause it ahead of time with the PAWS Promise. That's what it's for.

When does my item ship?

When your balance hits 100% paid, your item ships straight to you. Nothing ships before it's fully paid โ€” that's the deal, and it keeps things simple for everyone.

How much is shipping?

Paying by ACH (bank debit)? Shipping is FREE on the whole order. Paying by card? Shipping is a flat $20 โ€” never more.

What if the exact model becomes unavailable?

Suppliers change stock sometimes. If the exact model you chose becomes unavailable before your payoff, we'll substitute an equivalent or better model at no extra cost to you. See our substitution promise for the full details.

Is there a credit check?

No. It's layaway, not credit. You pay before you own โ€” so there's nothing to check.

Can I pay off early?

Yes โ€” anytime. Pay the remaining balance in your dashboard and your item ships as soon as the final payment clears. No penalty for finishing early, ever.
