The parties in the agreement are the Principal (permit applicant or business), Obligee (San Luis Obispo), and Surety/Bond Company or Obligor (surety bond provider/insurance).

 

The Obligor will guarantee the compensation (performance bond) of the Obligee should the Principal fail to deliver agreed-upon services or violate any licensing provisions.
