Most performance and payment bonds are relatively simple one to two page documents. Many look alike. There are, however, subtle differences in wording that can make a tremendous difference in the principal’s and surety’s liability on a bond. This presentation addresses many questions, including the following: What triggers the surety’s obligations on a particular bond? What does the bond cover? When will suits on the bond be barred by limitations? Does the surety have an option to perform? Are the surety’s options limited?
