Partners bound by a civil solidarity pact undertake to live together and to provide mutual material aid and assistance. If the partners do not agree otherwise, material assistance is proportional to their respective means.
The partners are jointly and severally liable to third parties for debts contracted by one of them for everyday needs. However, this joint and several liability does not apply to manifestly excessive expenses. Nor does it apply, unless they have been entered into with the consent of both partners, to instalment purchases or loans unless the latter relate to modest sums necessary for everyday needs and the cumulative amount of these sums, in the case of several loans, is not manifestly excessive having regard to the household’s standard of living.
