Release of Guarantees Sample Clauses
The 'Release of Guarantees' clause defines the conditions under which any guarantees or security interests provided by one party are formally discharged or returned. Typically, this clause specifies that once certain obligations—such as payment or performance milestones—are fulfilled, the guarantor is no longer liable, and any collateral or guarantees are released. For example, if a company has provided a bank guarantee to secure a contract, this clause would outline when and how that guarantee is returned after the contract is completed. Its core function is to ensure that guarantees are not held longer than necessary, thereby protecting the guarantor from ongoing liability once their obligations have been met.
