How Does a Hawaii Service Contract Provider Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a service contract provider bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the service contract provider filing the bond
- Obligee: The Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Hawaii Revised Statutes
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your service contract provider bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
