Section 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.

Section 7--206. Termination of Storage at Warehouse's Option.

If the goods are not removed before the date specified in the notice, the  warehouse  may sell them pursuant to Section 7--210.  (b)  If  a  warehouse  in  good faith believes that goods are about to deteriorate or decline in value to less than  the  amount  of  its  lien within  the  time  provided  in  subsection  (a) and Section 7--210, the warehouse may specify in the  notice  given  under  subsection  (a)  any reasonable  shorter  time for removal of the goods and, if the goods are not removed, may sell them at public sale held not less  than  one  week after a single advertisement or posting.  (c)  If,  as  a result of a quality or condition of the goods of which the warehouse did not have notice at the time of deposit, the goods  are a  hazard to other property, the warehouse facilities, or other persons, the warehouse may sell the goods  at  public  or  private  sale  without advertisement or posting on reasonable notification to all persons known to  claim an interest in the goods. If the warehouse, after a reasonable effort, is unable to sell the goods, it  may  dispose  of  them  in  any lawful   manner   and  does  not  incur  liability  by  reason  of  that disposition.  (d) A warehouse shall deliver the goods to any person entitled to them under this article upon due demand made at any time before sale or other disposition under this section.  (e) A warehouse may satisfy its lien from the proceeds of any sale  or disposition  under  this section but shall hold the balance for delivery on the demand of any person to which the warehouse would have been bound to deliver the goods.

(b)  If different lots of fungible goods are commingled, the goods are owned in common by the persons entitled thereto  and  the  warehouse  is severally  liable  to  each owner for that owner's share.

2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 7 - Documents of Title Part 3 - Bills of Lading: Special Provisions 7-301 - Liability for Nonreceipt or Misdescription; "Said to Contain"; "Shipper's Weight, Load, and Count"; Improper Handling.

Section 7--301. Liability  for  Nonreceipt  or  Misdescription; "Said to                   Contain";  "Shipper's  Weight,   Load,   and   Count";                   Improper Handling.  (a)  A  consignee  of  a  nonnegotiable bill of lading which has given value in good faith, or a holder to which a  negotiable  bill  has  been duly  negotiated,  relying upon the description of the goods in the bill or upon the date shown in the bill, may recover from the issuer  damages caused  by the misdating of the bill or the nonreceipt or misdescription of the goods, except to the extent that  the  bill  indicates  that  the issuer  does  not know whether any part or all of the goods in fact were received or conform to the description, such as in a case in  which  the description  is  in  terms  of  marks  or  labels  or kind, quantity, or condition or the receipt or description is  qualified  by  "contents  or condition   of   contents  of  packages  unknown",  "said  to  contain", "shipper's weight, load, and count," or words of similar import, if that indication is true.  (b) If goods are loaded by the issuer of a bill of lading:  (1) the issuer shall  count  the  packages  of  goods  if  shipped  in packages and ascertain the kind and quantity if shipped in bulk; and  (2)  words  such  as  "shipper's weight, load, and count," or words of similar import indicating that the description was made by  the  shipper are ineffective except as to goods concealed in packages.  (c)  If bulk goods are loaded by a shipper that makes available to the issuer of a bill of lading adequate facilities for weighing those goods, the issuer shall ascertain the kind and  quantity  within  a  reasonable time after receiving the shipper's request in a record to do so. In that case, "shipper's weight" or words of similar import are ineffective.  (d) The issuer of a bill of lading, by including in the bill the words "shipper's  weight,  load,  and  count," or words of similar import, may indicate that the goods  were  loaded  by  the  shipper,  and,  if  that statement  is  true,  the issuer is not liable for damages caused by the improper loading.  However,  omission  of  such  words  does  not  imply liability for damages caused by improper loading.  (e)  A  shipper  guarantees  to  an issuer the accuracy at the time of shipment of the description,  marks,  labels,  number,  kind,  quantity, condition,  and  weight,  as  furnished  by the shipper, and the shipper shall indemnify the issuer against  damage  caused  by  inaccuracies  in those  particulars.  This right of indemnity does not limit the issuer's responsibility or liability under the contract of carriage to any person other than the shipper.

Section 7--302. Through Bills of Lading and Similar Documents of Title.  (a) The issuer of a through bill of lading, or other document of title embodying  an  undertaking to be performed in part by a person acting as its agent or by a performing carrier, is liable to any  person  entitled to  recover  on  the  bill or other document for any breach by the other person or the performing carrier of its obligation  under  the  bill  or other  document.  However, to the extent that the bill or other document covers an undertaking to be  performed  overseas  or  in  territory  not contiguous  to the continental United States or an undertaking including matters other than transportation, this  liability  for  breach  by  the other person or the performing carrier may be varied by agreement of the parties.  (b)  If goods covered by a through bill of lading or other document of title embodying an undertaking to be performed in part by a person other than the issuer are received by that person, the person is subject, with respect to its own performance while the goods are in its possession, to the obligation of the issuer. The person's obligation is  discharged  by delivery  of  the  goods to another person pursuant to the bill or other document and does not include liability for breach by any  other  person or by the issuer.  (c)  The issuer of a through bill of lading or other document of title described in subsection (a) is entitled to recover from  the  performing carrier,  or  other person in possession of the goods when the breach of the obligation under the bill or other document occurred:  (1) the amount it may be required to pay to  any  person  entitled  to recover  on  the  bill  or  other  document  for  the  breach, as may be evidenced by any receipt, judgment, or transcript of judgment; and  (2) the amount of any expense reasonably incurred  by  the  issuer  in defending  any action commenced by any person entitled to recover on the bill or other document for the breach.
