313. Guaranties to sellers of liabilities of buyers under retail instalment contracts. No guaranty given to the seller or to the seller and the seller's assignee of the liabilities of a buyer under a retail instalment contract shall be valid unless the guaranty is incorporated in or endorsed on the contract or identifies the contract and specifies the time balance thereof or, if the guaranty relates to one or more future retail instalment contracts, it limits the liability of the guarantor to contracts dated within a period of two years from the date of the guaranty and sets forth the maximum amount for which the guarantor shall be liable. A copy of the guaranty shall be given or mailed to the guarantor upon or immediately after the execution and delivery of the original guaranty by the guarantor.
