Guarantee Reissue Condition refers to the prerequisites that must be met for issuing a new guarantee in international trade when the original guarantee needs to be reissued due to changes in elements such as the beneficiary, applicant, issuing bank, amount, validity period, terms, or due to loss, damage, expiration, or rejection of the original guarantee. Common scenarios include: contract modifications requiring adjustments to guarantee terms, expiration of the original guarantee but project extension, beneficiary not accepting the original guarantee format, bank requiring additional margin or counter-guarantee, etc. Precautions: Reissuing a guarantee may incur additional costs and time; the responsible party and cost bearer for reissue must be clarified; the new guarantee should maintain continuity with the original to avoid gaps in coverage; if modifications are involved, written consent from all relevant parties is required. Difference from 'Guarantee Amendment': Amendment is a partial adjustment to the original guarantee, while reissue is canceling the original and issuing a completely new guarantee, legally treated as two independent guarantees. Difference from 'Guarantee Extension': Extension only prolongs the validity period without changing other terms.
📝 Examples
1. Due to an increase in contract amount, the buyer requires the seller to reissue the original performance guarantee, with the reissue condition that the seller must first replenish the margin with the bank and submit a copy of the amended contract. (Note: Reissue conditions include replenishing margin and submitting new contract.)
2. The original advance payment guarantee needs to be reissued due to a change in the beneficiary's name, with the reissue condition that the beneficiary provides a name change certificate and written confirmation agreeing to cancel the original guarantee. (Note: Reissue conditions involve beneficiary providing proof and confirmation of cancellation.)
