Bonds

Bonds involve three parties – the contractor, the employer and the surety (guarantor). The employer is the recipient under the bond while the contractor and the surety together guarantee that the contractual obligation will be fulfilled.

If the contractor fails to fulfil his obligations, the surety too has failed. The employer can “call in” the bond, whereas the surety has rights to recover against the contractor. The bond remains in force until the obligations of the contractor have been complied with and completed.

On completion, the employer will release the bond and the surety’s risk ceases. There is no cancellation clause in a Bond contract.
