(1) With regard to the creditors of the partnership, the amount of contribution for which a limited partner is liable towards third parties will be determined, after entry in the Commercial Register, by such amount as is stated in the entry.
(2) The creditors may invoke an unregistered increase in the respective amount of contribution shown in the Commercial Register only if such increase has been announced in a manner customary in the trade or has been communicated to them by the partnership in some other manner.
(3) Any agreement between the partners by which a limited partner is released from making the contribution, or by which their obligation to make the contribution is deferred, is ineffective vis-à-vis the creditors.
(4) To the extent that the amount of contribution for which a limited partner is liable towards third parties has been repaid to the limited partner, it will be deemed, vis-à-vis the creditors, not to have been made. The same applies to the extent that a limited partner withdraws profit shares while their share of capital is reduced by losses to less than the amount paid in as the amount of contribution for which they are liable towards third parties, or to the extent that their share of capital would be reduced to less than the specified amount as a result of such withdrawal. Amounts within the meaning of section 268 (8) are not to be taken into account for the calculation of the share of capital pursuant to sentence 2.
(5) In no case will a limited partner be obliged to repay whatever they have received in good faith as profit on the basis of a balance sheet drawn up in good faith.
(6) Vis-à-vis the creditors of a partnership in which none of the general partners is a natural person, the amount of contribution for which a limited partner is liable towards third parties will be deemed not to have been made to the extent it is made in shares of the general partners. This does not apply if one of the general partners is a general partnership or partly limited partnership in which a general partner is a natural person.
