(a) A carrier has a lien on the goods covered by a
bill of lading or on the proceeds thereof in its possession for charges after the date
of the carrier's receipt of the goods for storage or transportation, including
demurrage and terminal charges, and for expenses necessary for preservation of
the goods incident to their transportation or reasonably incurred in their sale
pursuant to law. However, against a purchaser for value of a negotiable bill of
lading, a carrier's lien is limited to charges stated in the bill or the applicable tariffs
or, if no charges are stated, a reasonable charge.

(b) A lien for charges and expenses under subsection (a) of this section on
goods that the carrier was required by law to receive for transportation is effective
against the consignor or any person entitled to the goods unless the carrier had
notice that the consignor lacked authority to subject the goods to those charges
and expenses. Any other lien under subsection (a) of this section is effective against
the consignor and any person that permitted the bailor to have control or
possession of the goods unless the carrier had notice that the bailor lacked
authority.

(c) A carrier loses its lien on any goods that it voluntarily delivers or
unjustifiably refuses to deliver.

(d) A mover, as defined in section 40-10.1-101, C.R.S., that does not have a
current and valid permit issued under part 5 of article 10.1 of title 40, C.R.S., does
not have a lien under this section. A mover that acquires a lien under this section
and whose permit lapses or is revoked during the pendency of the lien loses its lien.
