Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contract states that Design, as the bailee, agrees to pay Venerable, the bailor, for any damage to the furniture. The ink stains are a result of the Design's use of the furniture, so they are likely responsible for the damage. Venerable, as the bailor, is not responsible for the damage caused by the actions of the bailee.
