in gratuitous bailment
"gratuitous bailment: a bailment in which there is no compensation or benefit to one party; especially : one that benefits only the bailor"
"Main Entry: bail·ment
Pronunciation: 'bAl-m&nt
Function: noun
Etymology: Anglo-French bayllment, from bailler to hand over —see BAIL
: the transfer of possession but not ownership of personal property (as goods) for a limited time or specified purpose (as transportation) such that the individual or business entity taking possession is liable to some extent for loss or damage to the property —compare DEPOSIT loan for consumption and loan for use at LOAN
NOTE: The typical elements of a bailment are delivery of the personal property, acceptance of the delivery, and possession or control of the property. Any of these elements may be actual or constructive. Bailments may be created by contracts, either express or implied, which require agreement, and the agreement may also be express or implied. Contracts for the lease of a car, for sale of goods on consignment, and for the transport of goods are examples of bailments."
