Chapter III: Obligations of the principal.

The principal is bound to perform the commitments entered into by the agent, in accordance with the authority given to him. He is only bound by what may have been done beyond that, insofar as he has ratified it expressly or tacitly.

The principal must reimburse the agent for the advances and expenses made by the latter for the execution of the mandate, and pay the agent his salaries when they have been promised.

The principal must also indemnify the agent for losses incurred by the agent in the course of its management, without imprudence attributable to the agent.

Interest on advances made by the agent is due to him from the principal, from the date of the recorded advances.

Where the agent has been constituted by several persons for a common business, each of them is jointly and severally liable to the agent for all the effects of the mandate.
