The financial guarantee ceases if the guarantor’s undertaking is terminated on its expiry date. It also ceases on the death or cessation of activity of the guaranteed person or, in the case of a legal entity, on the dissolution of that entity.
Under no circumstances may the guarantee cease before the expiry of a period of three clear days from the date on which the body referred to in article L. 546-1 is informed by the guarantor of the cessation of the guarantee.
In all cases provided for in the preceding paragraphs, the termination of the guarantor’s undertaking may not be relied upon against the creditor in respect of claims arising during the period of validity of the undertaking.
