Understanding Surety Bonds
A surety bond is a promise or guarantees to be liable for the debt, default, or failure of another. Bonds are three-party contracts by which one party (surety bond company) guarantees or promises the performance or obligations of a second party (principal) to a third party (obligee).
There are two categories of surety bonds:
- contract surety bonds
- commercial (miscellaneous) surety bonds.
Example:
Tom (principal) promises Joe (obligee) that he will do something. If Tom doesn't complete the job, Joe could lose money. Joe wants a guarantee that the work will be done. He asks Tom (principal) to get a surety bond. The surety bond company issues Tom (principal) a bond that protects Joe (obligee). Tom is responsible for completing his promise. The surety company is only responsible if Tom(principal) doesn't fulfill his promise.
