Article 1844-1 of the French Civil Code

The share of each partner in the profits and his contribution to the losses shall be determined in proportion to his share in the share capital and the share of the partner who has contributed only his industry shall be equal to that of the partner who has contributed the least, all unless otherwise stipulated.

However, any stipulation allocating to a partner all of the profits made by the company or exempting him from all of the losses, or excluding a partner entirely from the profits or charging him with all of the losses, shall be deemed unwritten.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1844-1

La part de chaque associé dans les bénéfices et sa contribution aux pertes se déterminent à proportion de sa part dans le capital social et la part de l’associé qui n’a apporté que son industrie est égale à celle de l’associé qui a le moins apporté, le tout sauf clause contraire.

Toutefois, la stipulation attribuant à un associé la totalité du profit procuré par la société ou l’exonérant de la totalité des pertes, celle excluant un associé totalement du profit ou mettant à sa charge la totalité des pertes sont réputées non écrites.
