Exercise 11

Madison took his Porsche to the Downtown Repair Shop for some major repairs that would take three days. The repair order form prepared by the repair shop that he signed contained the following statement: "Not responsible for loss or damage to cars or articles left in cars in case of fire, theft, or any other cause beyond our control." While at the repair shop and under its control, Madison's car was stolen. Madison sued Downtown Repair Shop for failing to deliver the car to him. Is Downtown Repair Shop liable?
