The guarantor’s role in a commercial transaction is defined by the del credere clause. This provision, found in agency or commission contracts, ensures the successful completion of the transaction. It obligates the commission agent or agent to assume responsibility for the risk of non-performance of the contract. In this context, it is common to include a specific indemnity, known as a “del credere premium,” to cover this risk.
