- Who it protects
- The kit describes County-property loss and unknown-third-party losses and correction expenses tied to violations of applicable statutes, regulations or code. Negligence or poor workmanship alone is not covered unless it also violates those requirements.

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.

Questions about this bond
