Contract of guarantee
is a contract to perform the promise, or discharge the
liability, of a third person in case of his default.
The person who gives the guarantee is called the "surety";
the person in respect of whose default the guarantee
is given is called the "principal debtor", and the person
to whom the guarantee is given is called the "creditor".
A guarantee may be either oral or
written.
