Commodatum

A Commodatum is a Roman Contract that results in a loan for use. The subject can only be used for that purpose eg- a book lent to read may only be used to read, not as a doorstop.
==Obligations on Commodans (lender)==
*Allow use as agreed
*Pay for damage caused by deliberate wrongdoing
*Pay for any extra-ordinary expenses
==Obligations on Commodatory (borrower)==
*To return the item at the end of the contract
*Take very good care of the standard (high standard)
*Use the thing only as agreed (otherwise this is theft) unless he honestly believes the user would have consented.
