engaged as an agent, and he did not reply to the letter or telegram. (n)
Art. 1873. If a person specially informs another or states by public advertisement that he has given a power of attorney to a third

Art. 1877. An agency couched in general terms comprises only acts of administration, even if the principal should state that he

(5) To enter into any contract by which the ownership of an immovable is transmitted or acquired either gratuitously or for a valuable
(7) To loan or borrow money, unless the latter act be urgent and indispensable for the preservation of the things which are under
Art. 1879. A special power to sell excludes the power to mortgage; and a special power to mortgage does not include the power to sell.
Art. 1881. The agent must act within the scope of his authority. He may do such acts as may be conducive to the accomplishment of the
purpose of the agency. (1714a)
Art. 1882. The limits of the agent's authority shall not be considered exceeded should it have been performed in a manner more
advantageous to the principal than that specified by him. (1715)
Art. 1883. If an agent acts in his own name, the principal has no right of action against the persons with whom the agent has contracted;
neither have such persons against the principal.
In such case the agent is the one directly bound in favor of the person with whom he has contracted, as if the transaction were his own,
except when the contract involves things belonging to the principal.
Art. 1884. The agent is bound by his acceptance to carry out the agency, and is liable for the damages which, through his non-
performance, the principal may suffer.

has not been expressly stipulated. (1723)

negligence of his fellows agents, except in the latter case when the fellow agents acted beyond the scope of their authority. (n)

still owes after the extinguishment of the agency. (1724a)

exceeds the limits of his authority without giving such party sufficient notice of his powers. (1725)
Art. 1898. If the agent contracts in the name of the principal, exceeding the scope of his authority, and the principal does not ratify the
contract, it shall be void if the party with whom the agent contracted is aware of the limits of the powers granted by the principal. In this
case, however, the agent is liable if he undertook to secure the principal's ratification. (n)
Art. 1899. If a duly authorized agent acts in accordance with the orders of the principal, the latter cannot set up the ignorance of the
agent as to circumstances whereof he himself was, or ought to have been, aware. (n)
Art. 1900. So far as third persons are concerned, an act is deemed to have been performed within the scope of the agent's authority, if
such act is within the terms of the power of attorney, as written, even if the agent has in fact exceeded the limits of his authority
according to an understanding between the principal and the agent. (n)
Art. 1901. A third person cannot set up the fact that the agent has exceeded his powers, if the principal has ratified, or has signified his
willingness to ratify the agent's acts. (n)
Art. 1902. A third person with whom the agent wishes to contract on behalf of the principal may require the presentation of the power of
attorney, or the instructions as regards the agency. Private or secret orders and instructions of the principal do not prejudice third
persons who have relied upon the power of attorney or instructions shown them. (n)

consignment, unless upon receiving them he should make a written statement of the damage and deterioration suffered by the same.

them by countermarks, and designate the merchandise respectively belonging to each principal. (n)
Art. 1905. The commission agent cannot, without the express or implied consent of the principal, sell on credit. Should he do so, the
principal may demand from him payment in cash, but the commission agent shall be entitled to any interest or benefit, which may result
from such sale. (n)
Art. 1906. Should the commission agent, with authority of the principal, sell on credit, he shall so inform the principal, with a statement
of the names of the buyers. Should he fail to do so, the sale shall be deemed to have been made for cash insofar as the principal is
concerned. (n)
Art. 1907. Should the commission agent receive on a sale, in addition to the ordinary commission, another called a guarantee
commission, he shall bear the risk of collection and shall pay the principal the proceeds of the sale on the same terms agreed upon with
the purchaser. (n)
Art. 1908. The commission agent who does not collect the credits of his principal at the time when they become due and demandable
shall be liable for damages, unless he proves that he exercised due diligence for that purpose. (n)
Art. 1909. The agent is responsible not only for fraud, but also for negligence, which shall be judged with more or less rigor by the
courts, according to whether the agency was or was not for a compensation. (1726)
As for any obligation wherein the agent has exceeded his power, the principal is not bound except when he ratifies it expressly or
tacitly. (1727)
Art. 1911. Even when the agent has exceeded his authority, the principal is solidarily liable with the agent if the former allowed the latter
to act as though he had full powers. (n)

successful, provided the agent is free from all fault.

latter, without fault or negligence on his part. (1729)
Art. 1914. The agent may retain in pledge the things which are the object of the agency until the principal effects the reimbursement and
pays the indemnity set forth in the two preceding articles. (1730)
Art. 1915. If two or more persons have appointed an agent for a common transaction or undertaking, they shall be solidarily liable to the
agent for all the consequences of the agency. (1731)
Art. 1916. When two persons contract with regard to the same thing, one of them with the agent and the other with the principal, and the
two contracts are incompatible with each other, that of prior date shall be preferred, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 1544.
Art. 1917. In the case referred to in the preceding article, if the agent has acted in good faith, the principal shall be liable in damages to
the third person whose contract must be rejected. If the agent acted in bad faith, he alone shall be responsible. (n)
(1) If the agent acted in contravention of the principal's instructions, unless the latter should wish to avail himself of the benefits derived
Art. 1920. The principal may revoke the agency at will, and compel the agent to return the document evidencing the agency. Such
revocation may be express or implied. (1733a)
Art. 1921. If the agency has been entrusted for the purpose of contracting with specified persons, its revocation shall not prejudice the
latter if they were not given notice thereof. (1734)
Art. 1922. If the agent had general powers, revocation of the agency does not prejudice third persons who acted in good faith and
without knowledge of the revocation. Notice of the revocation in a newspaper of general circulation is a sufficient warning to third
persons. (n)

the latter. (n)
Art. 1927. An agency cannot be revoked if a bilateral contract depends upon it, or if it is the means of fulfilling an obligation already
contracted, or if a partner is appointed manager of a partnership in the contract of partnership and his removal from the management is
unjustifiable. (n)
Art. 1928. The agent may withdraw from the agency by giving due notice to the principal. If the latter should suffer any damage by
reason of the withdrawal, the agent must indemnify him therefor, unless the agent should base his withdrawal upon the impossibility of
continuing the performance of the agency without grave detriment to himself. (1736a)
Art. 1929. The agent, even if he should withdraw from the agency for a valid reason, must continue to act until the principal has had
reasonable opportunity to take the necessary steps to meet the situation. (1737a)
Art. 1930. The agency shall remain in full force and effect even after the death of the principal, if it has been constituted in the common
interest of the latter and of the agent, or in the interest of a third person who has accepted the stipulation in his favor. (n)
Art. 1931. Anything done by the agent, without knowledge of the death of the principal or of any other cause which extinguishes the

Title XI. - LOAN
Art. 1933. By the contract of loan, one of the parties delivers to another, either something not consumable so that the latter may use the
same for a certain time and return it, in which case the contract is called a commodatum; or money or other consumable thing, upon the
condition that the same amount of the same kind and quality shall be paid, in which case the contract is simply called a loan or mutuum.
Art. 1934. An accepted promise to deliver something by way of commodatum or simple loan is binding upon parties, but the
commodatum or simple loan itself shall not be perfected until the delivery of the object of the contract. (n)
SECTION 1 - Nature of Commodatum
Art. 1935. The bailee in commodatum acquires the used of the thing loaned but not its fruits; if any compensation is to be paid by him
who acquires the use, the contract ceases to be a commodatum. (1941a)
Art. 1936. Consumable goods may be the subject of commodatum if the purpose of the contract is not the consumption of the object, as
when it is merely for exhibition. (n)
(2) The bailee can neither lend nor lease the object of the contract to a third person. However, the members of the bailee's household
may make use of the thing loaned, unless there is a stipulation to the contrary, or unless the nature of the thing forbids such use. (n)
SECTION 2. - Obligations of the Bailee
(2) If he keeps it longer than the period stipulated, or after the accomplishment of the use for which the commodatum has been
(3) If the thing loaned has been delivered with appraisal of its value, unless there is a stipulation exemption the bailee from
responsibility in case of a fortuitous event;
Art. 1944. The bailee cannot retain the thing loaned on the ground that the bailor owes him something, even though it may be by reason

Art. 1946. The bailor cannot demand the return of the thing loaned till after the expiration of the period stipulated, or after the
accomplishment of the use for which the commodatum has been constituted. However, if in the meantime, he should have urgent need
of the thing, he may demand its return or temporary use.
(1749a)
Art. 1948. The bailor may demand the immediate return of the thing if the bailee commits any act of ingratitude specified in Article 765.
Art. 1949. The bailor shall refund the extraordinary expenses during the contract for the preservation of the thing loaned, provided the
bailee brings the same to the knowledge of the bailor before incurring them, except when they are so urgent that the reply to the
notification cannot be awaited without danger.
If the extraordinary expenses arise on the occasion of the actual use of the thing by the bailee, even though he acted without fault, they
shall be borne equally by both the bailor and the bailee, unless there is a stipulation to the contrary. (1751a)
Art. 1950. If, for the purpose of making use of the thing, the bailee incurs expenses other than those referred to in Articles 1941 and
1949, he is not entitled to reimbursement. (n)
Art. 1951. The bailor who, knowing the flaws of the thing loaned, does not advise the bailee of the same, shall be liable to the latter for
the damages which he may suffer by reason thereof. (1752)
Art. 1953. A person who receives a loan of money or any other fungible thing acquires the ownership thereof, and is bound to pay to the
creditor an equal amount of the same kind and quality. (1753a)
Art. 1954. A contract whereby one person transfers the ownership of non-fungible things to another with the obligation on the part of the
latter to give things of the same kind, quantity, and quality shall be considered a barter. (n)
If what was loaned is a fungible thing other than money, the debtor owes another thing of the same kind, quantity and quality, even if it
should change in value. In case it is impossible to deliver the same kind, its value at the time of the perfection of the loan shall be paid.
(1754a)
Art. 1957. Contracts and stipulations, under any cloak or device whatever, intended to circumvent the laws against usury shall be void.
The borrower may recover in accordance with the laws on usury. (n)
Art. 1958. In the determination of the interest, if it is payable in kind, its value shall be appraised at the current price of the products or
goods at the time and place of payment. (n)
Art. 1959. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2212, interest due and unpaid shall not earn interest. However, the contracting
parties may by stipulation capitalize the interest due and unpaid, which as added principal, shall earn new interest. (n)
Art. 1960. If the borrower pays interest when there has been no stipulation therefor, the provisions of this Code concerning solutio
indebiti, or natural obligations, shall be applied, as the case may be. (n)
Art. 1961. Usurious contracts shall be governed by the Usury Law and other special laws, so far as they are not inconsistent with this
Title XII. - DEPOSIT
DEPOSIT IN GENERAL AND ITS DIFFERENT KINDS
Art. 1962. A deposit is constituted from the moment a person receives a thing belonging to another, with the obligation of safely keeping
it and of returning the same. If the safekeeping of the thing delivered is not the principal purpose of the contract, there is no deposit but
some other contract. (1758a)
Art. 1965. A deposit is a gratuitous contract, except when there is an agreement to the contrary, or unless the depositary is engaged in
the business of storing goods. (1760a)
Art. 1968. A voluntary deposit is that wherein the delivery is made by the will of the depositor. A deposit may also be made by two or
more persons each of whom believes himself entitled to the thing deposited with a third person, who shall deliver it in a proper case to
the one to whom it belongs. (1763)
Art. 1970. If a person having capacity to contract accepts a deposit made by one who is incapacitated, the former shall be subject to all
the obligations of a depositary, and may be compelled to return the thing by the guardian, or administrator, of the person who made the
deposit, or by the latter himself if he should acquire capacity. (1764)
Art. 1971. If the deposit has been made by a capacitated person with another who is not, the depositor shall only have an action to
recover the thing deposited while it is still in the possession of the depositary, or to compel the latter to pay him the amount by which he
may have enriched or benefited himself with the thing or its price. However, if a third person who acquired the thing acted in bad faith,
the depositor may bring an action against him for its recovery. (1765a)
SECTION 2. - Obligations of the Depositary
Art. 1972. The depositary is obliged to keep the thing safely and to return it, when required, to the depositor, or to his heirs and
successors, or to the person who may have been designated in the contract. His responsibility, with regard to the safekeeping and the
loss of the thing, shall be governed by the provisions of Title I of this Book.
(1766a)
Art. 1973. Unless there is a stipulation to the contrary, the depositary cannot deposit the thing with a third person. If deposit with a third
person is allowed, the depositary is liable for the loss if he deposited the thing with a person who is manifestly careless or unfit. The
depositary is responsible for the negligence of his employees. (n)
Art. 1974. The depositary may change the way of the deposit if under the circumstances he may reasonably presume that the depositor
would consent to the change if he knew of the facts of the situation. However, before the depositary may make such change, he shall
notify the depositor thereof and wait for his decision, unless delay would cause danger. (n)
Art. 1975. The depositary holding certificates, bonds, securities or instruments which earn interest shall be bound to collect the latter
when it becomes due, and to take such steps as may be necessary in order that the securities may preserve their value and the rights
corresponding to them according to law.
Art. 1976. Unless there is a stipulation to the contrary, the depositary may commingle grain or other articles of the same kind and
quality, in which case the various depositors shall own or have a proportionate interest in the mass. (n)
Art. 1978. When the depositary has permission to use the thing deposited, the contract loses the concept of a deposit and becomes a
loan or commodatum, except where safekeeping is still the principal purpose of the contract.
(2) If he uses the thing without the depositor's permission;
Art. 1980. Fixed, savings, and current deposits of money in banks and similar institutions shall be governed by the provisions
concerning simple loan. (n)
Art. 1981. When the thing deposited is delivered closed and sealed, the depositary must return it in the same condition, and he shall be
liable for damages should the seal or lock be broken through his fault.
As regards the value of the thing deposited, the statement of the depositor shall be accepted, when the forcible opening is imputable to
the depositary, should there be no proof to the contrary. However, the courts may pass upon the credibility of the depositor with respect
to the value claimed by him.
When the seal or lock is broken, with or without the depositary's fault, he shall keep the secret of the deposit. (1769a)
Art. 1982. When it becomes necessary to open a locked box or receptacle, the depositary is presumed authorized to do so, if the key
has been delivered to him; or when the instructions of the depositor as regards the deposit cannot be executed without opening the box
or receptacle. (n)
If the owner, in spite of such information, does not claim it within the period of one month, the depositary shall be relieved of all
responsibility by returning the thing deposited to the depositor.
If the depositary has reasonable grounds to believe that the thing has not been lawfully acquired by the depositor, the former may return
the same. (1771a)
Art. 1985. When there are two or more depositors, if they are not solidary, and the thing admits of division, each one cannot demand
When there is solidarity or the thing does not admit of division, the provisions of Articles 1212 and 1214 shall govern. However, if there
is a stipulation that the thing should be returned to one of the depositors, the depositary shall return it only to the person designated.
Art. 1986. If the depositor should lose his capacity to contract after having made the deposit, the thing cannot be returned except to the
persons who may have the administration of his property and rights. (1773)
Art. 1987. If at the time the deposit was made a place was designated for the return of the thing, the depositary must take the thing
deposited to such place; but the expenses for transportation shall be borne by the depositor.
If no place has been designated for the return, it shall be made where the thing deposited may be, even if it should not be the same
place where the deposit was made, provided that there was no malice on the part of the depositary. (1774)
Art. 1988. The thing deposited must be returned to the depositor upon demand, even though a specified period or time for such return
may have been fixed.
This provision shall not apply when the thing is judicially attached while in the depositary's possession, or should he have been notified
of the opposition of a third person to the return or the removal of the thing deposited. In these cases, the depositary must immediately
inform the depositor of the attachment or opposition. (1775)
Art. 1989. Unless the deposit is for a valuable consideration, the depositary who may have justifiable reasons for not keeping the thing
deposited may, even before the time designated, return it to the depositor; and if the latter should refuse to receive it, the depositary
may secure its consignation from the court. (1776a)
Art. 1990. If the depositary by force majeure or government order loses the thing and receives money or another thing in its place, he
shall deliver the sum or other thing to the depositor. (1777a)
Art. 1991. The depositor's heir who in good faith may have sold the thing which he did not know was deposited, shall only be bound to
return the price he may have received or to assign his right of action against the buyer in case the price has not been paid him. (1778)
SECTION 3. - Obligations of the Depositor
Art. 1992. If the deposit is gratuitous, the depositor is obliged to reimburse the depositary for the expenses he may have incurred for the
preservation of the thing deposited. (1779a)
Art. 1993. The depositor shall reimburse the depositary for any loss arising from the character of the thing deposited, unless at the time
of the constitution of the deposit the former was not aware of, or was not expected to know the dangerous character of the thing, or
unless he notified the depositary of the same, or the latter was aware of it without advice from the depositor. (n)
Art. 1997. The deposit referred to in No. 1 of the preceding article shall be governed by the provisions of the law establishing it, and in
case of its deficiency, by the rules on voluntary deposit.
The deposit mentioned in No. 2 of the preceding article shall be regulated by the provisions concerning voluntary deposit and by Article
2168. (1782)
Art. 1998. The deposit of effects made by the travellers in hotels or inns shall also be regarded as necessary. The keepers of hotels or
inns shall be responsible for them as depositaries, provided that notice was given to them, or to their employees, of the effects brought
by the guests and that, on the part of the latter, they take the precautions which said hotel-keepers or their substitutes advised relative
to the care and vigilance of their effects. (1783)
Art. 1999. The hotel-keeper is liable for the vehicles, animals and articles which have been introduced or placed in the annexes of the
hotel. (n)
Art. 2000. The responsibility referred to in the two preceding articles shall include the loss of, or injury to the personal property of the
guests caused by the servants or employees of the keepers of hotels or inns as well as strangers; but not that which may proceed from
any force majeure. The fact that travellers are constrained to rely on the vigilance of the keeper of the hotels or inns shall be considered
in determining the degree of care required of him. (1784a)
Art. 2001. The act of a thief or robber, who has entered the hotel is not deemed force majeure, unless it is done with the use of arms or
