Bonds

A bond is generally a promise involving the principal, the obligee, and the surety. It may be required by a contract, license, or other obligation. The terms and underwriting depend on the specific bond, and a paid claim may create a repayment obligation for the principal.

Reading the details

Confirm the bond form, principal, obligee, amount, term, and the exact obligation it secures. Ask about indemnity, claim handling, renewal, and what would release the obligation. A bond is not interchangeable with liability insurance.
