Article 823 – Extension of guarantee - The guarantee shall not exceed the principal debt, nor it shall be contracted under more onerous conditions.

Where it exceeds the debt or the conditions are more onerous, the guarantee shall not be null in law, but it will be reduced to the precise terms of the debt covered by guarantee.
