This bond is used to clear the title of any type of vehicle or floating home.
It is a three-way party agreement between the Surety, the Principal (the contractor or applicant) and the Obligee. The Surety is the party behind the performance of the Principal. The Surety has evaluated the Principal’s ability and willingness to perform and provides their stamp of approval with a bond. If the Principal is unable to satisfy the terms of their agreement, the Surety assumes the responsibility and will reimburse the Obligee.
Obligee is a formal word for a beneficiary who might be the project owner, government agency, etc.
Bonds are considered a specialty form of insurance, and the Surety is usually an insurance company. Surety bonds are very different than insurance, however, because the beneficiary is a third party. As long as the Principal does what is promised, the Surety will not be called upon to perform or pay. The Principal is the primary responsible party under the bond and is obligated to reimburse the Surety for any claims or expenses incurred by the surety if the Principal has not lived up to their agreement.
The Obligee is the beneficiary under a surety bond. If the Principal cannot or will not perform, the Surety steps in and makes good on the Principal’s obligation. The Obligee also has an obligation under the bond. If the Obligee fails to fulfill their responsibilities under the contract or agreement, neither the Principal nor Surety has any liability.
