The Principal is the customer who promises to comply with everything stipulated in the contract that was signed with the Beneficiary (Obligee).
The Beneficiary or "Obligee" is the party that requires the bond from the Principal (Customer) and the party that will be compensated by the Guarantor (Insurer) in the event of default by the Principal.
The Guarantor (Insurer- USIC) guarantees the performance of the agreement or obligation.
Insurance indemnifies the insured party for losses in the occurrence of an agreed-upon event.
