Article 1843 of the French Civil Code

Persons who have acted on behalf of a company in formation before registration are liable for the obligations arising from the acts thus performed, with joint and several liability if the company is commercial, without joint and several liability in other cases. A company that is duly registered may take over the commitments entered into, which are then deemed to have been entered into by the company from the outset.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1843

Les personnes qui ont agi au nom d’une société en formation avant l’immatriculation sont tenues des obligations nées des actes ainsi accomplis, avec solidarité si la société est commerciale, sans solidarité dans les autres cas. La société régulièrement immatriculée peut reprendre les engagements souscrits, qui sont alors réputés avoir été dès l’origine contractés par celle-ci.
