Question 5

WHAT IS A GENERAL INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (GIA) AND WHY DOES IT REQUIRE PERSONAL INDEMNITY IN ADDITION TO CORPORATE INDEMNITY?

Accepted Answer

The GIA is an agreement whereby the contractor promises to indemnify the surety for any claims paid out on behalf of the contractor.   By this agreement, the contractor allows the surety to recover any bond claims paid out by the surety. Bonding is a form of credit and not insurance.The surety will require personal indemnity of the owners, including spouses, in addition to corporate indemnity by the contractor’s company.   This agreement provides assurance that the surety can recover bond claim losses first from the contractor’s company, then if necessary from their personal assets, while eliminating or minimizing legal challenges. In rare cases of significant personal net worth, portions or even all of the personal indemnity of the contractor is waived at the sole discretion of the surety.
