(c) 2000 West Legal Studies Chapter 358 Chapter 35 Summary Suretyship and guarantee undertakings have the common feature of a promise to answer for the debt or default of another. The terms are used interchangeably, but a guarantor of collection is ordinarily only secondarily liable, which means that the guarantor does not pay until the creditor has exhausted all avenues of recovery.

(c) 2000 West Legal Studies Chapter 359 If the guarantor has made an absolute guarantee, then its status is the same as that of a surety, which means that both are liable for the debt in the event the debtor defaults regardless of what avenues of collection, if any, the creditor has pursued. Chapter 35 Summary [2]

(c) 2000 West Legal Studies Chapter 3510 The surety and guarantee relationships are based on contract. Sureties have a number of rights to protect them. They are exoneration, subrogation, indemnity, and contribution. In addition to those rights, sureties also have certain defenses. They include ordinary contract defenses as well as some defenses peculiar to the suretyship relationship, such as release of collateral, change in loan terms, substitution of debtor, and fraud by the creditor. Chapter 35 Summary [3]

(c) 2000 West Legal Studies Chapter 3511 A letter of credit is an agreement that the issuer of the letter will pay drafts drawn on the issuer by the beneficiary of the letter. The issuer of the letter of credit is usually a bank. There are three contracts involved in letter-of-credit transactions: (1) the contract between the issuer and the customer of the issuer, (2) the letter of credit itself, and (3) the underlying agreement between the beneficiary and the customer of the issuer of the letter of credit. Chapter 35 Summary [4]

(c) 2000 West Legal Studies Chapter 3512 The parties to a letter of credit are the issuer, the customer who makes the arrangement with the issuer, and the beneficiary, who will be the drawer of the drafts to be drawn under the letter of credit. The letter of credit continues for any time it specifies. Chapter 35 Summary [5]

(c) 2000 West Legal Studies Chapter 3513 The letter of credit must be in writing and signed by the issuer. Consideration is not required to establish or modify a letter of credit. If the conditions in the letter of credit have been complied with, the issuer is obligated to honor drafts drawn under the letter of credit. Chapter 35 Summary [6]
