What are Surety Bonds?

A surety bond is a three-party agreement where the surety company guarantees to the obligee (owner, client, other) that the principal will perform. In the event the principal fails to meet its obligation, such as fulfilling the terms of a contract or paying for reclamation/cleanup costs, the surety bond/surety company indemnifies the obligee, up to the limit of the bond, against losses resulting from the principal’s failure to meet the obligation. 

Surety bonds function much more like letters of credit than like insurance policies. In the event a bond claim is paid by a surety, they will seek reimbursement from their principal under the terms of indemnity agreement that is in place between the parties.
