Related to guarantee: Guarantee letterGuaranteeOne to whom a guaranty is made. This word is also used, as a noun, to denote the contract of guaranty or the obligation of a guarantor, and, as a verb, to denote the action of assuming the responsibilities of a guarantor. guarantee1) v. to pledge or agree to be responsible for another's debt or contractual performance if that other person does not pay or perform. Usually, the party receiving the guarantee will first try to collect or obtain performance from the debtor before trying to collect from the one making the guarantee (guarantor). 2) the promise to pay another's debt or fulfill contract obligations if that party fails to pay or perform. 3) n. occasionally, the person to whom the guarantee is made. 4) a promise to make a product good if it has some defect. (See: guarantor) guarantee a collateral promise to answer for the debt or obligation of another. A guarantee is a secondary obligation, becoming operative only where the principal debtor is in default; because it is a secondary obligation, should the primary obligation be unlawful or invalid or unenforceable, the guarantor or surety cannot be compelled to make payment under the guarantee. A guarantee should be distinguished from an indemnity, which is a primary obligation to compensate the loss of another; in the latter case the unenforceability of the principal debt will not render the indemnity unenforceable. In Scotland, the same relationship is regulated by the institution of caution (pronounced ‘cayshun’). Proper caution is the term used where the cautioner is expressly bound as guarantor to the creditor. The term improper caution is used when the cautioner is bound as a co-obligant with the principal debtor jointly and severally to the creditor. The term is used colloquially in the UK for a statement by a manufacturer of goods that it will undertake some responsibility such as repair or replacement. GUARANTEE, contracts. He lo whom a guaranty is made.
2. The guarantee is entitled to receive payment, in the first place, from the debtor, and, secondly, from the guarantor. He must be careful not to give time beyond that stipulated in the original agreement, to the debtor, without the consent of the guarantor; the guarantee should, at the instance of the guarantor, bring an action against the principal for the recovery of the debt. 2 Johns. Oh. R. 554; 17 Johns. R. 384; 8 Serg. & Rawle, 116; 10 Serg. & Rawle, 33; 2 Bro. C. C. 579, 582; 2 Ves. jr. 542. But the mere omission of the guarantee to sue the principal debtor will not, in general, discharge the guarantor. 8 Serg. & Rawle, 112; 3 Yeates, R. 157; 6 Binn. R. 292, 300. guarantee
GuaranteeThe assumption of responsibility for payment of a debt or performance of some obligation if the liable party fails to perform to expectations.GuaranteeA promise made by a third party to provide payment on a bond, loan, or other liability in the event of default. While many guarantees apply to debt instruments, they may also be used in day-to-day life. For example, a parent may sign a guarantee with a rental agency promising to pay rent on behalf of an adult child if he/she does not do it. Banks often make guarantees on behalf of certain clients, but, just as often, private parties make guarantees to banks to promise payment on private loans. Guarantees reduce the risk to loans and liabilities, and usually improve the credit agency ratings of bonds.guarantee or warranty a legally binding promise by the seller of a product to the purchaser that in the event of the product failing to work properly the seller will either replace or repair it free of charge, or refund the purchase price. Guarantees and warranties usually operate for a limited time-period from the date of purchase, though some products like cars may relate guarantee conditions to both time and mileage. Guarantees and warranties are an important means of promoting a product, in so far as they assure the buyer about the product's expected QUALITY and reliability. See CUSTOMER SERVICE, MARKETING MIX.guaranteeThe act itself,or also the document,whereby one agrees to pay a debt if the principal obligor does not. Under common law, creditors had to exhaust their remedies against a debtor before pursuing a guarantor.Today, almost all guarantee instruments contain clauses allowing the creditor to seek payment directly from the guarantor if there has been a default by the debtor. Guarantee agreements must be in writing to be enforceable.Usually,there must be some consideration passing to the guarantor unless the instrument creating the obligation (note, lease) is signed at the same time as the guarantee,in which case the law assumes the guarantor has some interest in the transaction.
