What it is and who needs it.
What the Burlington peddler bond actually guarantees
New Jersey municipalities license door-to-door peddlers and solicitors at the local level, and the City of Burlington conditions its permit on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest dealing with residents you sell to, and your compliance with the city's solicitation rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Burlington (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a peddler takes deposits and fails to deliver, or otherwise violates the city's peddling ordinance, a harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Peddlers and solicitors who deal honestly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the city set, with your exact price shown before you pay and no credit section to fill out.

If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
