§ 204. § 7—204.

• Duty of care; contractual limitation of warehouse’s liability (a) A warehouse is liable for damages for loss of or injury to the goods caused by its
  failure to exercise care with regard to the goods that a reasonably careful person
  would exercise under similar circumstances. Unless otherwise agreed, the warehouse
  is not liable for damages that could not have been avoided by the exercise of that
  care. (b) Damages may be limited by a term in the warehouse receipt or storage agreement limiting
  the amount of liability in case of loss or damage beyond which the warehouse is not
  liable. Such a limitation is not effective with respect to the warehouse’s liability
  for conversion to its own use. On request of the bailor in a record at the time of
  signing the storage agreement or within a reasonable time after receipt of the warehouse
  receipt, the warehouse’s liability may be increased on part or all of the goods covered
  by the storage agreement or the warehouse receipt. In this event, increased rates
  may be charged based on an increased valuation of the goods. (c) Reasonable provisions as to the time and manner of presenting claims and commencing
  actions based on the bailment may be included in the warehouse receipt or storage
  agreement. (Added 2015, No. 51, § B.3, eff. June 3, 2015.)
