constituir o prorrogar una garantía

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
It's a private contract:

Thanks in advance

Funnily enough whenever I encounter 'prorrogar' I always say to myself 'renew' or 'extend' and then put whatever seems best in the context.

Thank you. Yes, agree, I think renew and extend are interchangeable in this context.
agree Jennifer Levey : With MEW, and I don't believe that renew and extend are entirely interchangeable.

Thanks MM. Not entirely interchangeable I agree but I very often find that one or other will do when I see the word prorrogar.

I see what you mean (bad choice) but these 'guarantees' already exist & XXX has recourse if they are not ('implemented' ?)

neutral Bill Harrison (X) : What does it mean to apply a guarantee??????
