Each partner contracts in his own name and is solely liable to third parties.
However, if the participants act in their capacity as partners in the sight and knowledge of third parties, each of them is liable to the latter for the obligations arising from acts performed in that capacity by one of the others, with joint and several liability, if the company is commercial, without joint and several liability in other cases.
The same applies to a partner who, by his interference, has led the other contracting party to believe that he intended to enter into a commitment towards him, or whose commitment is proved to have turned to his benefit.
In all cases, with regard to property deemed undivided pursuant to article 1872 (paragraphs 2 and 3), the provisions of Chapter VI of Title I of Book III of this Code shall apply to relations with third parties, or, if the formalities provided for in Article 1873-2 have been completed, those of Title IX bis of this book, all the partners then being, unless otherwise agreed, deemed to be managers of the joint ownership.
