A Delaware Surety Bond is a three-party agreement between a principal, an obligee and a surety bond company. The principal is the party who is responsible for the bond obligation. This is typically a Delaware individual or company who needs a license, permit, or other guarantee running to the state. The party receiving the benefit of the bond is the Obligee. For many Delaware surety bonds, this is the state of Delaware or one of their departments. The Surety is a third-party bond company that is providing a financial guarantee of the principal's obligation on the bond. Should the principal default on their obligation, a party can make a claim against the bond.
If a claim is made on a Delaware surety bond, the Surety will investigate the claim. If they are required to pay the claim, they may seek reimbursement from the principal under the indemnity agreement. Delaware surety bonds provide a lot of value by allowing a damaged party to collect from a Surety without having to go through what could be a costly procedure of collecting from the principal. As a principal, Delaware surety bond claims should be avoided.
