The Payment and Performance Guarantee is a crucial financial instrument in commercial transactions under Dutch law, commonly used in construction, infrastructure, and large-scale commercial projects. It serves as a risk mitigation tool where significant financial or performance obligations need to be secured. The guarantee can be called upon in case of default in either payment or performance of the underlying obligations, providing the beneficiary with immediate access to funds or performance assurance without first having to pursue the principal debtor. This document type is particularly relevant in the Netherlands' sophisticated financial and commercial markets, where such guarantees often form part of larger transaction structures. The guarantee must comply with Dutch financial regulations when issued by financial institutions and follows specific requirements under the Dutch Civil Code regarding form and content. It typically includes detailed provisions about the guaranteed obligations, demand procedures, and maximum liability amounts.
