Commercial Surety: A “surety company” guarantees that a “principal,” a business or individual, will carry out an obligation to a third party, an “oblige.”
Examples:
- A notary notarizes a document for an individual or corporation to file with their local county clerk.
- A contractor constructs a site according to the contract specifications for the owner.
Commercial Fidelity: Coverage that guarantees the insurance company will pay the insured business or individual for the money or property lost because of dishonest acts of the bonded party.
Examples:
- Janitorial bond reimburses the janitors client for the dishonest acts of their employees who have access to the client’s assets, equipment, supplies and personal belongings.
- Third party fidelity coverage reimburses the client under those circumstances in which they can prove that the contractor or their employees fraudulently transferred funds, stole money or securities from the client.
