The agreement for a credit default swap is a document that states the buyer will reimburse the holder in the event of a loan default or other credit event. This is essentially insurance against someone not paying you what you are owed.
The buyer of a credit swap receives credit protection, whereas the seller of the swap guarantees the credit worthiness of the product. By doing this, the risk of default is transferred from the holder of the fixed income security to the seller of the swap. For example, the buyer of a credit swap will be entitled to the par value of the bond by the seller of the swap, should the bond default in its coupon payments.
