Questions about this bond
Is this proof that my cleaning business is registered?
No. The product is fidelity protection; buying it does not grant a registration or license.
Does the three-year term include a higher limit?
Term length does not establish the theft limit. Check that limit separately in the application.
Can a customer claim for any missing property?
The claim must meet the bond's terms. RLI describes a conviction condition, and exclusions and any deductible also matter.
