## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### A bond protects you only until its claim deadline

A performance bond exists to cover the cost of a contractor failing to deliver. But the protection is time-boxed: bonds carry a validity period, and most require any claim to be made before that period ends, sometimes with an additional notice step. The risk is subtle. A project drifts, performance issues mount, everyone assumes the bond is there as a backstop, and then the validity period quietly lapses with no claim made. At that point the security is gone. Tracking the claim deadline as a distinct reminder, ahead of the bond expiry, is what keeps the backstop usable.

### Releasing a bond too early or too late both cost money

The release side matters as much as the claim side. Hold a contractor's bond past the point it should be returned and you tie up their capacity and strain the relationship. Release it before defects are signed off and you give up leverage on outstanding work. The right release date is tied to certified completion and the defects sign-off, not a guess. A reminder that surfaces the release condition at completion, with an owner to authorize it, keeps the bond in force exactly as long as the contract intends, no longer, no shorter.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the performance bond expiration reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your performance bond, surety bond, or the construction contract that references it as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the bond validity period, the claim deadline, the release condition, and any renewal obligations, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically, or note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Does it find the claim deadline, not just the expiry?
  **A:** Yes, and that is the deadline that protects you. Many bonds require a claim to be made before the validity period ends, sometimes with a notice period of its own. The tool surfaces the claim deadline alongside the bond expiry so a contractor performance issue does not become unrecoverable simply because the bond lapsed.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your document, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Can it track bonds across a project portfolio?
  **A:** The free tool reads one document at a time. Project owners and contract administrators running multiple projects use a Contracko trial to keep every bond validity period, claim deadline, and release condition in one tracked view.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your document is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
