A motor club special deposit bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the motor club owner(s) filing the bond
- Obligee: The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of South Carolina State Code Title 39 Chapter 61.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
