QUESTION: 7

Which of these statements about Guarantees are TRUE? Select 2

A Guarantee is a secondary obligation of a contract
A guarantor's responsibility is higher than the Principle
A guarantee is a promise to repair or replace an item within a defined period of time
A guarantor's responsibility cannot be higher than the Principle

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

"A Guarantee is a secondary obligation of a contract' and 'A guarantor's responsibility cannot be higher than the Principle' are the correct answers. Guarantees are explained on p.28. Be careful not to confuse this with Warranty. A promise to repair or replace an item within a defined period of time is the definition of a warranty. That was put in there to trick you. Sorry. Remember a Guaran-tee is to do something when the Principle of the contract fails to do it. It's most common in leasing agreements- if you're a young person, you'll often need a responsible adult / parent to sign the lease as your Guarantor. As a Guarantor, they promise to pay the rent if you're unable to. Legally they can't be asked to do any more than you are assigned to do in the contract. So if your rent is £500 a month, that's all they can be asked to pay if you don't pay it. The primary obligation is between you and the landlord. The secondary obligation is between the guarantor and you.
