What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Town of Greeneville peddler / transient merchant bond is a consumer-protection guarantee tied to your vending permit. The Town conditions the permit on a $1,000 bond so residents have a financial backstop if a permitted merchant defrauds them or breaks the permit terms.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Greeneville (the obligee), with the residents and customers you sell to as the protected parties. If a merchant violates the Town's rules and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Merchants who follow the Town rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
