47-7203. Liability for nonreceipt or
misdescription
A party to or purchaser for value in good faith of a document of title, other than a
bill of lading, that relies on the description of the goods in the document may recover
from the issuer damages caused by the nonreceipt or misdescription of the goods, except
to the extent that:
1. The document conspicuously indicates that the issuer does not know whether all
or part of the goods in fact were received or conform to the description, such as 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, condition and quality unknown",
"said to contain" or words of similar import, if the indication is true; or
2. The party or purchaser otherwise has notice of the nonreceipt or misdescription.
