The Indemnitor, along with the help of the bail agency, will make sure the defendant returns to every one of their court dates without fail.Should the defendant fail to return to court, the indemnitor will also take on the responsibility of paying additional fees, if the bail company has to hire a fugitive recovery agent to bring the defendant back to court. If the defendant cannot be located, the indemnitor will be made solely responsible to pay for the entire amount of the bail originally set by the court. If collateral was taken at the time of signing the contract, that will be used to pay towards the bond and will not be returned.
