How does it work?
The Oregon Endowment Care for Burial Vaults and Markers Penal Bond must be issued by a surety bond provider certified by the Oregon Department of Insurance. The parties in the agreement are the Principal (applicant), Obligee (Oregon State Dept. of Consumer and Business Services), and Surety/Bond Company or Obligor (surety bond provider or insurance).
The Surety Company will guarantee the compensation (performance bond) of the Obligee should the Principal fail to meet their standards or violate other licensing provisions. The Surety Company will assess the validity of claims, where claims may only amount to the total penal sum agreed upon in the bond form. The Principal shall reimburse all expenses covered by the Surety Company.
The Surety Company is secured through an indemnity agreement as the licensed business is mandated by law for the full reimbursement of the claims, including legal fees and premiums. This agreement shall be made before the execution of the bond and shall ascertain the businesses responsibility over their dealings.
