following, the warehouse is liable for damages caused to a
person injured by its omission:
(i) A statement of the location of the warehouse
facility where the goods are stored;
(ii) The date of issue of the receipt;
(iii) The unique identification code of the receipt;
(iv) A statement whether the goods received will be
delivered to the bearer, to a named person, or to a named person
or its order;

containing them;

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 act and do not impair its obligation of
