The Guaranty Fee Agreement is essential in commercial and financial transactions where one party provides a guarantee in favor of another party and requires compensation for this service. This document type is commonly used in parent-subsidiary relationships, banking transactions, and commercial financing arrangements. The agreement must comply with Swiss law requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Articles 492-512) regarding guarantee contracts. The document typically outlines the calculation methodology for the guarantee fee, payment schedules, duration of the guarantee, and circumstances for fee adjustment or termination. It's particularly important in cross-border transactions where Swiss entities or Swiss law is involved, and when regulatory compliance with Swiss banking and financial regulations is required.
