How Does a California Seller of Travel Discount Program Bond Work? 

A California seller of travel discount program bond is a legal contract between three parties:

  1. Principal: The seller of travel purchasing the bond
  2. Obligee: The California Secretary of State requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will validate and pay claims up to the full bond amount. However, you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
