How does a California Professional Club and Promoter Bond work?
This bond has 3 parties:
Principal – Professional club and promoter license applicant
Obligee– State of California
Surety – surety bond provider
Under the terms of this bond, the Principal must comply with the relevant laws of the State. The Surety will assure the Obligee (beneficiary of the bond) that the Principal will fulfill all the legal obligations.
If the Principal violates the bonded obligations, the Obligee can file a claim against the bond. The Surety will first investigate the validity of the claim. Once the Surety has paid the Obligee, the Principal must reimburse the Surety of the full amount.
