Buyer’s Agent is defined as someone who does business with a vehicle dealer on behalf of a vehicle purchaser.
The primary intent of the Motor Vehicle Dealer’s/Buyer’s Agent Surety Bond is to provide compensation in cases of dealer misconduct that leads to financial loss. The Division of Motor Vehicles is tasked with enforcing dealers to hold the surety bond along with ensuring dealers are in compliance with the regulations laid out in Alaska Statutes, Title 8, Chapter 66.
At Jet, we guarantee that funds are available when a claim is filed on a surety bond. Should a payout be made to the claimant (generally a member of the public or the Division), the motorcycle or vehicle dealer is responsible for paying the claim amount back to Jet to restore their bond to it’s full limit.
It’s important to note that the bond is only utilized in cases where the dealer is negligent or fraudulent and either fails or refuses to address the issue; this makes surety bonds different from liability insurance which covers the holder and doesn’t need to be paid back.
Reasons the bond would pay out include:
