This means that the co-signer has no obligation to make payments unless the primary borrower defaults. In most contracts involving co-signers, the contract will have a provision that if the co-signer has to pay on behalf of the primary borrower, then the primary borrower must indemnify the co-signer. If the primary borrower refuses to pay the co-signer, the co-signer can sue the car owner to recover what he paid for the car owner.
