What it is and who needs it.
What the health spa bond covers
The District’s consumer-protection law at D.C. Code § 28-3817 requires a health spa — a facility for physical sport, exercise, training, or therapy — to back its members’ prepaid dues with a surety bond filed with the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP). The bond applies to spas that sell memberships for more than 30 days.
The bond is held for the benefit of members injured if the spa goes out of business or fails to deliver. The standard amount is $50,000; a spa that states in writing it will serve no more than 100 members may post a reduced $25,000 bond while it honors that limit. An irrevocable letter of credit or cash deposit is also accepted.
It is a three-party arrangement: the spa (the principal), the surety carrier, and the District, with members as the protected parties. It is not insurance for the spa — if the surety pays a claim, the spa repays the surety. Proof of the bond is filed annually with DLCP. Enter the figure that applies and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
