Someone does not become a shomer until the owner of the item asks them to watch the item, and the other party verbally accepts to watch the item. | |||
Some say that even if the person has agreed to be a shomer, his responsibilities as shomer don't begin until he makes a formal act of acquistion on the item. | |||
If the owner asks someone to watch something, and the other person responds "leave it," the person's response is not considered to be acceptance of the role of shomer. | |||
At the time of acceptance as shomer, the shomer is able to ask the owner to change his liability if something goes wrong. | |||
Some say if you accepted the role of Shomer mistakenly, you are not a shomer. | |||
