Terms Used In 18 Guam Code Ann. § 31604

  • Guarantor: A party who agrees to be responsible for the payment of another party's debts should that party default. Source: OCC
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
The acceptance, by a creditor, of anything in partial satisfaction of an obligation reduces the obligation of a guarantor thereof, in the same measure as that of the principal, but does not otherwise affect it.
