A bond's credit quality is usually determined by independent bond rating agencies, such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P). These agencies classify bonds into 2 basic categories—investment-grade and below-investment-grade—and provide detailed ratings within each.

What Is a Term Bond? Term bonds are notes issued by companies to the public or investors with scheduled maturity dates. The term of the bond is the amount of time between bond issuance and bond maturity. On the maturity date of a term bond, the bond's face value, the principal amount, must be repaid to the bondholder.
In an action for failure to obtain a bond, the court shall award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party.
The bond form states the terms that the principal must adhere to. A commercial bond form will usually state the general terms of the bond and may also reference corresponding legal statutes. Contract bond forms reference the corresponding contract. Judicial bonds reference the corresponding case or court order.
