18. The Guarantor(s) hereby acknowledge that:
(a) To the greatest extent possible, they hereby guarantee to the Company the due performance of the Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Trade, and indemnify the Company against any loss the Company may suffer as a result of the default of the Customer.
