Legal Disclaimers

  • Off The Hook Bail Bonds is a licensed North Carolina bail bonding agency regulated by the North Carolina Department of Insurance under N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 58, Article 71. All bail bondsmen are individually licensed by the State of North Carolina.
  • The bail bond premium in North Carolina is 15% of the face value of the bond, which is the maximum rate allowed by state law. This premium is fully earned and non-refundable once the bond has been posted and the defendant released from custody.
  • By signing as an indemnitor or co-signer, you assume financial responsibility for the defendant's appearance at all required court dates. If the defendant fails to appear, the court may order forfeiture of the bond, and the indemnitor may become liable for the full face value of the bond plus recovery costs and expenses.
  • Collateral, when required, is held to secure the bond and is returned upon exoneration of the bond by the court, less any outstanding amounts owed for premiums, fees, or forfeiture costs.
  • North Carolina law prohibits bail bondsmen from rebating, discounting, or refunding any portion of the premium, and from soliciting business inside or on the grounds of any jail, courthouse, or other place of confinement.
  • Federal bail bonds are governed by the federal Bail Reform Act and the local rules of the United States District Court where the case is heard. Federal surety bonds typically carry a 15% premium and are subject to federal court procedures distinct from North Carolina state courts.
