§490:7-202  Form of warehouse receipt;
effect of omission.  (a)  A warehouse receipt need not be in any particular
form.



(b)  Unless a warehouse receipt provides for
each of the following, the warehouse is liable for damages caused to a person
injured by its omission:



(1)  A statement of the location of the warehouse
facility where the goods are stored;



(2)  The date of issue of the receipt;



(3)  The unique identification code of the receipt;



(4)  A statement whether the goods received will be
delivered to the bearer, to a named person, or to a named person or its order;



(5)  The rate of storage and handling charges, unless
goods are stored under a field warehousing arrangement, in which case a
statement of that fact is sufficient on a nonnegotiable receipt;



(6)  A description of the goods or the packages
containing them;



(7)  The signature of the warehouse or its agent;



(8)  If the receipt is issued for goods that the
warehouse owns, either solely, jointly, or in common with others, a statement
of the fact of that ownership;  and



(9)  A statement of the amount of advances made and of
liabilities incurred for which the warehouse claims a lien or security
interest, unless the precise amount of advances made or liabilities incurred,
at the time of the issue of the receipt, is unknown to the warehouse or to its
agent that issued the receipt, in which case a statement of the fact that
advances have been made or liabilities incurred and the purpose of the advances
or liabilities is sufficient.



(c)  A warehouse may insert in its receipt any
terms that are not contrary to this chapter and do not impair its obligation of
delivery under section 490:7-403 or its duty of care under section 490:7-204. 
Any contrary provision is ineffective. [L 2004, c 163, pt of §1]
