and benefit of any consumer who is injured by the fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, financial failure, or violation

the condition of this obligation is such that if the Principal shall perform or cause to be performed the contracted services for

agreement, or arrangement governed by Sections 559.926-559.939, F.S., and shall not injure a consumer by fraud,
misrepresentation, breach of contract, financial failure or violation of the Florida Sellers of Travel Act by the Principal, then
this obligation shall be void. Otherwise this obligation shall remain in force and effect in law subject, however, to the following
limitations:
1. That the Obligee (state of Florida) shall notify the Surety of any default of the Principal hereunder, at the earliest
possible time following the discovery of such default.
2. That the Surety shall promptly notify the Obligee in writing of any changes in either the Principal or amount of bond
set forth above. However, failure of the Surety to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of this bond.

notice shall contain full name, city, and state where the Principal is located, and the agency code number assigned
to the Principal by the Obligee. The Surety, however, will remain liable for any default occurring during the period up
to the expiration of said 30 day notice and such 30 day period shall begin only upon receipt of said notice by the
Obligee.
4. That in no event shall the Surety be liable for a greater amount than that shown above.
This bond is effective this
day of
,
