A form to cover borrowed item?

[Clampguy]

I research tools, and often borrow items from their owners, in order to get measurements, photos, etc. The results go into my website, articles, etc. It's a non-profit activity.

One person wants me to provide a form before he will lend me an item. It should cover:
1) who pays for shipping, insurance;
2) that I will use his item for research, not for profit;
3) that I will take good care of his item;
4) that I will return it promptly,
and so on.

Is there a standard form where I can "fill in the blanks"?

What are the possible consequences of writing my own form in plain english?

Not that I am aware of. You might do a search ( http://www.google.com/ ) using search words like 'borrow loan form' etc.
