DEFINE

PERFORMANCE BOND

WHAT IS PERFORMANCE BOND?

• A performance bond performance (or performance security) is
commonly used in the construction industry as a means of insuring
a client against the risk of a contractor failing to fulfil contractual
obligations to the client. Performance bonds can also be required
from other parties to a construction contract.

• A performance bond is issued by one party to contract to the other
party as a guarantee against the issuing party's failure to meet their
obligations under the contract, or to delivery on the level of
performance specified in the agreement. Performance bonds are
typically provided by a financial institution such as a bank or an
insurance company. The bond would be paid for by the party
providing the services under the agreement.

There are three parties to a performance bond:

• The principal is the primary entity or person who will be doing the work. Often this is a contractor or similar type of
firm.

• The obligee is the customer, so to speak. It is the company, individual or governmental entity who will be the recipient
of the work. A city who will be having roadwork done by a contractor might have a performance bond to make sure
the work is finished to specifications.

• The surety is the financial institution providing the performance bond.

How Does a Performance Bond Work?

Performance bonds are usually required for government-related projects such as building a bridge or for road
constructions.They are common for private sector construction projects as well.
The performance bond protects against a contractor failing to deliver the work as specified in the contract. The contract
must be specific about the work to be performed, the results expected and the timing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A performance bond is issued to one party of a contract as a guarantee against the failure of the other party to meet
the obligations of the contract.

• A performance bond is usually issued by a bank or an insurance company.
• Most often, a seller is asked to provide a performance bond to reassure the buyer if the commodity being sold is not

delivered.

INSURANCE

• Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management, primarily used
to hedge against the risk of a contingent or uncertain loss.An entity which provides insurance is
known as an insurer, an insurance company, an insurance carrier or an underwriter.

HOW DOES INSURANCE WORKS?

• Insurance is available to help you pay for damage to your property or to pay others on
your behalf when you injure someone or damage their property. Insurance is a contract
that transfers the risk of financial loss from an individual or business to an insurance company.
They collect small amounts of money from clients and pool that money together to pay for
losses.

Insurance is divided into two major categories:
• Property and Casualty insurance (P&C)
• Life and Health insurance

INSURANCE OF WORKS

WHAT IS INSURANCE OF WORKS?

• Construction insurance is insurance protection that provides financial compensation for covered losses to a building or
structure, as many mistakes, errors, and unforeseen events can lead to damages and losses during the construction of a
building. Construction companies or other parties who have an interest in the property being built commonly purchase it.

What does contract works insurance cover?

• Contract works insurance covers the work you’re currently doing on a building site. It can pay for the cost of repairing or
redoing the work if it’s damaged or destroyed. As long as you’ve bought the right level of insurance, this can include the cost
of the labour, materials and tools to get the work back to the stage it was at before it was damaged.

What contract works insurance doesn’t cover

• Contract works insurance doesn’t cover existing constructions that are on the site. For example, if you’re building an
extension and there’s a fire at the property, your contract works insurance could cover the cost of repairing the extension
that’s in progress, but not damage to the rest of the house. Your customer’s home insurance should cover this instead. This
insurance will usually cover damage caused by risks like fire, flood, storm vandalism or theft, but it won’t cover damage
caused by terrorism, for example.You should check the policy documents for other exclusions.

INSURANCE AGAINST INJURY TO PERSONS AND
PROPERTIES

What Is Liability Insurance?

The term liability insurance refers to an insurance product that provides an insured party with protection
against claims resulting from injuries and damage to other people or property. Liability insurance policies cover
any legal costs and payouts an insured party is responsible for if they are found legally liable. Intentional damage
and contractual liabilities are generally not covered in liability insurance policies. Unlike other types of
insurance, liability insurance policies pay third parties—not policyholders.

How Liability Insurance Works?

Liability insurance is critical for those who are liable and at fault for injuries sustained by other people or in
the event that the insured party damages someone else's property. As such, liability insurance is also called
third-party-insurance. Liability insurance does not cover intentional or criminal acts even if the insured party is
found legally responsible. Policies are taken out by anyone who owns a business, drives a car, practices
medicine or law—basically anyone who can be sued for damages and/or injuries. Policies protect both the
insured and third parties who may be injured as a result of the policyholder's unintentional negligence.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE

What is Workmen’s Compensation insurance? diseases

It is a policy which covers your statutory liability as an employer, to insure all your employees.

It protects you from any cost and compensation to an employee for personal injuries sustained by
•Accidents
•Occupational

It covers both medical and legal costs which arise in the course of employment under
•The Workmen’s Compensation Act 1952
•Subsequent amendments to the Act
