guaranties
Promises of fulfillment
Guaranties is the plural of guaranty, a formal promise to answer for another's debt or obligation if they fail to pay.
The term appears primarily in legal and financial contexts: The bank required personal guaranties from all partners.
Guaranty and guarantee overlap in meaning, but guaranty tends toward the noun form in legal documents, while guarantee serves more broadly as both noun and verb.
