In the framework of a North Carolina Bailment Agreement with Bailee to Maintain and Care for Property, the bailor has the right to receive the property back in good condition. The bailor also has the duty to disclose any defects in the property that may affect its use. Conversely, the bailee must care for the property and return it as agreed, ensuring both parties uphold their obligations.
A bailee has specific rights under a North Carolina Bailment Agreement with Bailee to Maintain and Care for Property. These rights include possessing the bailed property and receiving compensation for services provided. However, the bailee also assumes liabilities, particularly for any damage or loss that occurs due to negligence or misconduct.
If the bailment is for the sole benefit of the owner (the bailor), the bailee is answerable only for gross neglect or fraud: the duty of care is slight.
The duty of the bailee is to return the goods without demand on the accomplishment of the purpose or the expiration of the time period. In case of his failure to do so, he shall be liable for the loss, destruction, deterioration, damages or destruction of goods even without negligence.
In either case reasonable disclaimers of liability are allowed. If the bailed goods need repair while in the bailee's possession, the usual rule is that ordinary repairs are the bailee's responsibility, extraordinary ones the bailor's.

The bailee is not liable if the delay in delivering the goods or disposal of goods is due to default of others. Unexplained failure to return the thing bailed is presumed to be by the bailee's default;12And it would be presumed as his negligence.
The bailee is liable for all injuries to the property from failure to properly care for or use it. Once the purpose of the bailment has been completed, the bailee usually must return the property to the bailor, or account for it, depending upon the terms of the contract.
