2.13.112 If the total contractual benefits increase following the establishment of the guarantee, the total sum of the bank guarantee must be increased proportionately. The UCI Women’s WorldTeams must immediately inform the UCI administration of this increase, indicating the amount and the reason. They must also forward without delay, to the auditor appointed by the UCI, all documentation relating to the increase including, in particular, the additional bank guarantee or amendment to the existing bank guarantee. The auditor shall issue a supplementary report to the UCI administration. 

2.13.113 If the amount of the contractual benefits diminishes after a guarantee has been set up, an adjustment of the guarantee with effect from 1st April of the registration year for which the reduction has occurred is possible only in the event of a multi-year bank guarantee, provided that the conditions set out below are satisfied: 

- The amount of the contractual benefits diminishes from one registration year to the next; 

- The reduction will apply to the full year of registration; 

- The reduction is acknowledged by the UCI auditor during the registration procedure. 

Upon the conditions above being fulfilled, the UCI Women’s WorldTeam may submit a request for the UCI to instruct its bank of the reduction, with effect on 1st April of the registration year, of the amount of the bank guarantee. 

2.13.114 If the bank guarantee proves to be inadequate, the UCI Women’s WorldTeam shall be liable for a fine of between CHF 1,000 and 10,000. In addition, the UCI Women’s WorldTeam will be automatically suspended if it fails to establish the additional or amended guarantee within one month of the date of the decision to impose the fine and for so long as it fails to do so. In the event of persistent default, the UCI may refer the case to the licence commission in accordance with article 2.13.066. 

2.13.115 The UCI may not be held responsible for the inadequacy of the guarantee. 

2.13.116 The term of the guarantee may vary between one and four years depending on the duration of validity of the team’s UCI Women’s WorldTour licence. In any case, it must remain valid until 31$^{st}$ March after the last registration year covered by the guarantee. 

For the first registration year covered by the licence, the guarantee must be available from 1$^{st}$ January of the registration year. 

Should the bank guarantee for the first registration year of the licence period not cover the totality of that period, the bank guarantee provided from the second registration year may stipulate that it may be called up at the latest as of 1st April of the registration year, including for the sums due in January, February and March. 

## Calling up the guarantee 

2.13.117 The creditor must introduce their application to the UCI for the guarantee to be called up by 1$^{st}$ March of the year following the date on which their claim falls due. Documentary evidence must be provided with the application. 

Failing this, the UCI shall not be obliged to call up the guarantee.
