Pledgor shall bear the risk of accidental destruction, loss of or harm to a pledged property, unless otherwise provided for by the contract of pledge.
Pledgee shall be liable for complete or partial destruction, loss of or harm to the collateral transferred to him or her, unless the latter proves that he or she may be exempt from liability in accordance with Article 417 of this Code.

The obligation of the pledgee to compensate to the pledgor other damages caused by loss of or harm to the collateral may be provided for by contract.
The pledgor who is the debtor of the obligation secured by pledge shall have the right to set off the compensation for the damages caused by loss of or harm to the collateral for the purpose of redeeming the obligation secured by pledge.
