A sales representative of Wired Music, Inc. sold Frank Pierson, president of the Great River Steamboat Company, a five-year Muzak Program Service for a riverboat and restaurant owned by Great River. Pierson signed a form contract drafted by Wired Music in the following manner:
By /s/ Frank C. Pierson, Pres.
Title
The Great River Steamboat Co.
For the Corporation
The contract included the following clause which Wired Music claims makes Pierson a surety or guarantor for Great River: “The individual signing this agreement for the subscriber guarantees that all of the above provisions shall be complied with.”
Great River made approximately four payments under the contract and then ceased to pay. The riverboat restaurant eventually closed. Wired Music brought an action for contract damages against Pierson personally. Is Pierson liable? If not, what is the meaning of the above-quoted language in the contract?
