Since the haulers are volunteering their time for little to no reward, most of the campus services operate on a "no collateral" basis. What this means is if their ship is destroyed and your cargo is lost, you will not be compensated for it, so you essentially bear the risk. This is of course something to bear in mind and you should ensure you are able to cover the cost of replacing your possessions in the worst case scenario. | Since the haulers are volunteering their time for little to no reward, most of the campus services operate on a "no collateral" basis.

To use it, go to your item hangar and make sure you are organizing items in 'List' view in the top right. Then either select all of the items {{Button|Ctrl}}+{{Button|A}} or just the items you will be sending by contract ({{Button|Ctrl}}+click the items you want to select) and copy them to your clipboard {{Button|Ctrl}}+{{button|C}}. Go to Evepraisal and paste the items into the box {{Button|Ctrl}}+{{Button|V}} then press submit. It is normal to value items based on their price in Jita. This will list all the items and their value, and at the bottom will give you a 'Total Sell Value' which is how much your items would be worth if you sold them. Your collateral should be at least this value. | ||
Within the University as the Campus Hauling Services program has a 0-ISK collateral requirement, it is recommended that Unista-hauled jobs should likewise have a collateral of zero, although this is not required as this would be a private agreement. | Within the University as the Campus Hauling Services program has a 0-ISK collateral requirement, it is recommended that Unista-hauled jobs should likewise have a collateral of zero, although this is not required as this would be a private agreement. | ||
