Contract Surety Bonds
sur·e·ty bond: a three-party agreement between a surety company, an obligee and a principal. The third party (surety company) guarantees to the second party (obligee) the successful performance of the first party (principal). The surety company guarantees that the obligations of the principal to the obligee will be performed in accordance with a contract, statute or regulations. A surety bond is not an insurance policy. In the event of a surety loss, the surety will seek repayment from the contractor and its owners, who typically personally indemnify the surety against any and all losses.
