The surety guarantees to the obligee that the principal will fulfill their contractual obligations. If the principal fails to do so, the surety can cover the financial losses or ensure the project\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Contract Bonds<\/h2>\n<p>There are several types of contract bonds, each serving a specific purpose.
