CONTRACT OF INDEMNITY
1)Section 124 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 defines a
"contract of indemnity" as a contract by which one party
promises to save the other from loss caused to him by the
conduct of the Promisor himself, or by the conduct of any
other person.
e.g = 'x' contracts to indemnify 'y' against the
consequences of any legal proceedings which c
may take against B in respect of a certain sum of
Rs.200/=.
2 There are two parties
to the contract viz.
the indemnifier and the
indemnity holder
3 The liability of the
indemnifier is primary
4 In the Contract of indemnity the liability of the
indemnifier arises only on the happening of the contingency.

indemnifier except in certain special cases.

indemnity i.e, b/w the indemnifier and indemnity holder.
CONTRACT OF GUARANTEE

contract of guarantee is a contract to perform the promise
or discharge the liability of a third person in case of his
default”. The person who gives the guarantee is called the
“surety”; the person in respect of whose default the
guarantee is given is called the “principal debtor”, and the
person to whom the guarantee is given is called the
“creditor”.A guarantee may be either oral or written.
e.g, 'P' lends Rs. 5000/= to 'Q' and 'R' promises to 'P'
that if 'Q' does not pay the money back then 'R' will do so.

to the contract viz. the

debtor and the surety.
