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.

Bond Amount

Brokers must maintain a surety bond in the amount of $100,000.

Consumer Remedies

Injured consumers can sue for up to three times their actual damages, with a minimum recovery equal to the amount paid.

Advertising Disclosure

Brokers must clearly disclose that they are not licensed new motor vehicle dealers and do not provide warranty services.
