(2) The warehouse may also reserve a security interest against the bailor for the maximum amount specified on the receipt for charges other than those specified in subsection (1) of this section, such as for money advanced and interest. The security interest is governed by ORS chapter 79.

(3) A warehouse’s lien for charges and expenses under subsection (1) of this section or a security interest under subsection (2) of this section is also effective against any person that so entrusted the bailor with possession of the goods that a pledge of them by the bailor to a good-faith purchaser for value would have been valid. However, the lien or security interest is not effective against a person that before issuance of a document of title had a legal interest or a perfected security interest in the goods and that did not:

(a) Deliver or entrust the goods or any document of title covering the goods to the bailor or the bailor’s nominee with:

(A) Actual or apparent authority to ship, store or sell;

(B) Power to obtain delivery under ORS 77.4030; or

(C) Power of disposition under ORS 72.4030, 72A.3040 (2), 72A.3050 (2), 79.0320 or 79.0321 (3) or other statute or rule of law; or

(b) Acquiesce in the procurement by the bailor or its nominee of any document.

(4) A warehouse’s lien on household goods for charges and expenses in relation to the goods under subsection (1) of this section is also effective against all persons if the depositor was the legal possessor of the goods at the time of deposit. In this subsection, "household goods" means furniture, furnishings or personal effects used by the depositor in a dwelling.

(5) A warehouse loses its lien on any goods that it voluntarily delivers or unjustifiably refuses to deliver. [1961 c.726 §77.2090; 1971 c.370 §1; 2001 c.445 §149; 2009 c.181 §63]
