They are liable for the loss of and damage to the things entrusted to them, unless they prove that they were lost and damaged by fortuitous event or force majeure.
Entrepreneurs of public carriages by land and water, and those of public carriages, must keep a register of the money, effects and packages with which they are entrusted.

When someone is commissioned to do a work, it may be agreed that he will supply only his labour or industry, or that he will also supply the material.

In the case where the workman supplies only his labour or industry, if the thing comes to perish, the workman is liable only for his fault.
