A surety may not take consideration for their suretyship. If they do, they shall return it to its owner, and the suretyship shall lapse if taken from the creditor or the debtor, or from a third party with the creditor's knowledge. If taken without the creditor's knowledge, the suretyship shall be binding together with the return of the consideration.
