§12A-7-202.


§12A-7-202.
   
   (1) A warehouse receipt need not be in any particular form.
   
   (2) Unless a warehouse receipt embodies within its written or printed
   terms each of the following, the warehouseman is liable for damages
   caused by the omission to a person injured thereby:
   
   (a) the location of the warehouse where the goods are stored;
   
   (b) the date of issue of the receipt;
   
   (c) the consecutive number of the receipt;
   
   (d) a statement whether the goods received will be delivered to the
   bearer, to a specified person, or to a specified person or his order;
   
   (e) the rate of storage and handling charges, except that where goods
   are stored under a field warehousing arrangement a statement of that
   fact is sufficient on a nonnegotiable receipt;
   
   (f) a description of the goods or of the packages containing them;
   
   (g) the signature of the warehouseman, which may be made by his
   authorized agent;
   
   (h) if the receipt is issued for goods of which the warehouseman is
   owner, either solely or jointly or in common with others, the fact of
   such ownership; and
   
   (i) a statement of the amount of advances made and of liabilities
   incurred for which the warehouseman claims a lien or security interest
   (Section 7-209). If the precise amount of such advances made or of
   such liabilities incurred is, at the time of the issue of the receipt,
   unknown to the warehouseman or to his agent who issues it, a statement
   of the fact that advances have been made or liabilities incurred and
   the purpose thereof is sufficient.
   
   (3) A warehouseman may insert in his receipt any other terms which are
   not contrary to the provisions of this act and do not impair his
   obligation of delivery (Section 7-403) or his duty of care (Section
   7-204). Any contrary provisions shall be ineffective. -->
