What does Exodus 22:14 mean?

But if the owner was there, the borrower doesn’t have to pay. If it was rented, the loss is covered by the rental fee. Exodus 22:14 - Modern Text Bible

(If the owner was present or the animal was rented, the risk is shared or already compensated, so the borrower isn’t liable.)
