Bank Guarantee is a bank's commitment to a counterparty entering into a contractual relationship with another counterparty. The Bank commits itself to repay any amounts agreed upon in case of non-fulfilment of the agreed obligations, subject of presentation of a written complying demand by the beneficiary within the defined time and in line to the terms and conditions of the issued guarantee. Relationships may be trade, so the subject of the guarantee may be the purchase of the goods and the guarantee is issued to ensure that the payment is made as agreed between the parties or may be the provision of a service where the guarantee ensures that the service will be performed as agreed by the parties, etc.
