Primary Text
The bailor shall refund the extraordinary
expenses during the contract for the preservation of the
thing loaned, provided the bailee brings the same to the
knowledge of the bailor before incurring them, except
when they are so urgent that the reply to the notification
cannot be awaited without danger.
If the extraordinary expenses arise on the occasion of the
actual use of the thing by the bailee, even though he
acted without fault, they shall be borne equally by both
the bailor and the bailee, unless there is a stipulation to
the contrary. (1751a)
