Once issued, the Indiana vehicle merchandising bond is active for one year from the date of issuance.
Options exist to purchase and prepay this surety bond bond for 2 and in some cases 3 years. Doing so offers a savings over year-over-year renewal of the bond.
While required of vehicle merchandisers, a surety bond is for the protection of consumers; it is not a liability insurance policy.
As stated on the surety bond form, the bond is for the protection of the Indiana Secretary of State as a financial guarantee which ensures that fines, penalties, costs and fees will be paid as assessed.
The bond specifically guarantees your compliance with IC 9-32.
As principal of this bond, you will be required to indemnify the surety for any claims paid against your bond, should that ever occur. However, the liability of the bond, excluding attorney fees and other costs, will not exceed the bond amount.
