A bond is a legally-enforceable financial guarantee given by a third-party (the guarantor) to a purchaser (the client). It guarantees the obligations of a supplier of goods, works, or services (the contractor) under a contract.

The guarantor agrees to pay the client a sum of money if the contractor defaults on their obligations. The purpose of a bond is to help the client meet the extra expenses to remedy the default and/or complete the contract.
