SURETYSHIP ,
contracts .
An accessory agreement by which a person binds himself for another already bound ,
either in whole or in part ,
as for his debt ,
default or miscarriage .
2 .
The person undertaken for must be liable as well as the person giving the promise ,
for otherwise the promise would be a principal and not a collateral agreement ,
and the prommissor would be liable in the first instance ;
for example ,
a married woman would .
Not be liable upon her contract ,
and the person who should become surety for her that she would perform it would be responsible as a principal and not as a surety .

If a Person undertakes as a surety when he knows the obligation ,
of the principal is void ,
he becomes a principal :

As the contract of suretyship must relate to the same subject as the principal obligation ,
it follows that it must not be of greater extent or more onerous '
either in its amount ,
or in the time or manner ,
or place of performance ,
than such principal obligation ;
and if it so exceed ,
ii will be void ,
as to such excess .
But the obligation of the surety may be less onerous ,
both in its amount ,
and in the time ,
place and manner of its performance ,
that of the principal debtor ;
it may be for a less amount ,
or the time may be more protracted .

The contract of suretyship may be entered into by all persons who are sui juris ,
and capable of entering into other contracts .
See Parties to contracts .
5 .
It must be made upon a sufficient consideration .
See Consideration .
6 .
The contract of suretyship or guaranty ,
requires a present agreement between the contracting parties ;
and care must be taken to observe the distinction between an actual guaranty ,
and an offer to guaranty at a future time ;
when an offer is made ,
it must be accepted before it becomes binding .

When by his contract the surety limits the period of time for which he is willing to be responsible ,
it is clear he cannot be held liable for a longer period ;
as when he engages that an officer who is elected annually shall faithfully perform his duty during his continuance in office ;
his obligation does not extend for the performance of his duty by the same officer who may be elected for a second year .

The contract of suretyship becomes extinct or discharged by the acts of the principal and of the creditor without any act of the surety .
This may be done ,
1 .
By payment ,
by the principal .
2 .
By release of the principal .
3 .
By tender made by principal to the creditor .
4 .
By compromise .
5 .
By accord and satisfaction .
6 .
By novation .

9 .
By alteration of the contract .
11 .-
1 .
When the principal makes payment ,
the sureties are immediately discharged ,
because the obligation no longer exists .
But as payment is the act of two parties ,
the party tendering the debt and the party receiving it ,
the money or thing due must be accepted .

As the release of the principal discharges the obligation ,
the surety is also discharged by it .

A lawful tender made by the principal or his authorized agent ,
to the creditor or his authorized agent ,
will discharge the surety .

Accord and satisfaction between the principal and the creditor will discharge the surety ,
as by that the whole obligation becomes extinct .

It is evident that a simple novation ,
or the making a new contract and annulling the old ,
must ,
by the destruction of the obligation ,
discharge the surety .
17 .-
7 .
An absolute delegation ,
where the principal procures another person to assume the payment upon condition that he shall be discharged ,
will have the effect to discharge the surety .
See Delegation .
18 .-
8 .
When the principal has a just set -
off to the whole claim of the creditor ,
the surety is discharged .
19 .-
9 .
If the principal and creditor change the nature of the contract ,
so that it is no longer the same ,
the surety will be discharged ;
and even extending the time of payment ,
without the consent of the surety ,
when the agreement to give time is founded upon a valuable consideration ,
is such an alteration of the contract as discharges the surety .

The act of limitations or prescription is a perfect bar to a recovery against a surety ,
after a sufficient lapse of time ,
when the creditor was sui juris and of a capacity to sue .
25 .-
3 .
The discharge of the surety under the bankrupt laws ,
will put an end to his liability ,
unless otherwise provided for in the law .
26 .
The surety has the right to pay and discharge the obligation the moment the principal is in default ,
and have immediate recourse to his principal .
He need not wait for the commencement of an action ,
or the issue of legal process ,
but he cannot accelerate the liability of the principal ,
and if he pays money voluntarily before the time of payment arrives ,
he will have no cause of action until such time ,
or if he pays after the principal obligation has been discharged ,
when he was under no obligation to pay ,
he has no ground of action ,.
27 .
Co -
sureties are in general bound in solido to pay the debt ,
when the principal fails ,
and if one be compelled to pay the whole ,
he may demand contribution from the rest ,
and recover from them their several proportions of their common liability in an action for money paid by him to their use .
