Why this bond

Service contracts bonds in South Carolina are put in place to ensure that principals (service contract providers) conduct business in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 78 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, including properly transmitting any payment received for transmission to an insurer or another individual and applying all funds received appropriately.

If the principal fails to comply with these terms and commits any act of fraud or dishonesty in connection with contract services, the bond protects any person who sustains loss as a result of the principal’s violations up to the full amount of the bond. The principal must reimburse the surety for all damages paid out.
