What this bond does

Provide the company's security for the Secretary of State filing described in the posted auctioneer/auction-company form.

Who needs it
The auction company and authorized applicant arranging the named-principal filing rather than assuming an individual auctioneer's security covers the entity.
Who it protects
The form addresses the specified statutory compliance, received sums due others and damages from covered unlawful acts or omissions. Its surety aggregate remains the stated penal sum; it is not general property or liability insurance.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Match the company checkbox and filing term

The shared form has separate Auctioneer and Auction Company checkboxes, plus principal and business-name fields. Use the actual company filing; the common form does not establish that every related individual is included.

The posted instructions require a term of at least twenty-four months. The instrument also describes continuous form and an aggregate cap. Confirm the actual document meets the filing instructions rather than treating continuity as proof of an unrestricted duration or resetting the limit with every rider.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. Confirm the company principal, accepted form, sum and issued dates before applying, then follow Secretary of State filing directions. The attorney-in-fact certifies execution under an unrevoked power of attorney; provider completion is not itself an accepted State filing.

Questions about this bond

Does the common form mean the individual and company are interchangeable?

No. It offers separate capacity checkboxes and names a principal. Match the actual company filing.

Does continuous form remove the minimum submitted term?

The posted instructions state at least twenty-four months, while the instrument separately describes continuity. Confirm the actual issued document; this catalog option does not label a selectable two-year term.

Does every later rider create another full aggregate?

The posted instrument caps aggregate surety liability at its penal sum. Do not assume successive riders multiply it.
