Primary Text
The depositary is obliged to keep the thing
safely and to return it, when required, to the depositor, or
to his heirs and successors, or to the person who may
have been designated in the contract. His responsibility,
with regard to the safekeeping and the loss of the thing,
shall be governed by the provisions of Title I of this Book.
If the deposit is gratuitous, this fact shall be taken into
account in determining the degree of care that the
depositary must observe. (1766a)
