How does a California Third-Party Logistics Provider Bond ($90,000) work?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement.
- Principal – Third-Party Logistics Provider license applicant or licensee
- Obligee – the State of California
- Surety – the Surety bond provider
This bond is for the protection of the Obligee in case the Principal violates any of his or her contractual obligations that are required by the California Business and Professions Code. If the Principal fails to do any of the bonded obligations required by the relevant laws, rules, and regulations, the Obligee can file a bond claim. The Surety will first investigate if the claim is valid before paying the Obligee. If it, the Surety will settle the claim. The Principal must then reimburse the Surety for the payments made.
