Before the issuance of a motor vehicle dealer's license, as
provided by law, the applicant for the license shall furnish a continuous
surety bond executed by the applicant as principal and executed by a surety
company, licensed and qualified to do business within the state of North
Dakota, which bond must run to the state of North Dakota, be in the amount of
twenty-five thousand dollars and be conditioned upon the faithful compliance by
the applicant as a dealer, if the license is issued to the dealer, that such
dealer will comply with all of the statutes of the state of North Dakota
regulating or being applicable to the business of the dealer as a dealer in
motor vehicles, and indemnifying any person dealing or transacting business
with the dealer in connection with any motor vehicle from any loss or damage
occasioned by the failure of the dealer to comply with any of the provisions of
this title, including the furnishing of a proper and valid certificate of title
to the motor vehicle involved in any such transaction, and that the bond shall
be filed with the director prior to the issuance of license provided by law.
The aggregate liability of the surety of all persons, however, may in no event
exceed the amount of the bond. Any third party sustaining injury within the
terms of the bond may proceed against the principal and surety without making
the state a party to the proceedings. The bond may be canceled by the surety,
as to future liability, by giving written notice by certified mail, addressed
to the principal at the address stated in the bond, and to the department.
Thirty days after the mailing of the notice, the bond is null and void as to
any liability thereafter arising. The surety remains liable, subject to the
terms, conditions, and provisions of the bond until the effective date of the
cancellation.
