But any association formed under any other statute of this state, or any statute adopted by authority, other than the authority of this state, is not a
partnership under this act, unless such association would have been a partnership in this state prior to the adoption of this act; but this act shall apply to limited partnerships except in so far as the statues relating to such partnerships are inconsistent herewith.
第六条 合伙的定义
合伙是指两个或两个以上的人以营利为目的、而以共同所有人的身份经营一项商业的社团。
依据某州成文法或者依据某权力机关而不是该州权力机关所采用的法令而形成的社团不是本法意义上的合伙，除非该社团在该州采纳本法之前已经成为一个合伙；除与《有限合伙法》相矛盾外，本法适用于有限合伙。
§7. Rule for Determining the Existence of a Partnership
In determining whether a partnership exists, these rules shall apply: Except as provided by Section 16 persons who are not partners as to each other are not partners as to third persons.
Joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entireties, joint property, common property, or part ownership does not of itself establish a
partnership, whether such co-owners do or do not share any profits made by the use of the property.
The sharing of gross returns does not of itself establish a partnership, whether or not the persons sharing them have a joint or common right or interest in any property from which the returns are derived.
The receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that he is a partner in the business, but no such inference shall be drawn if such profits were received in payment: As a debt by installments or otherwise, As wages of an employee or rent to a landlord,
As an annuity to a widow or representative of a deceased partner, As interest on a loan, though the amount of payment vary with the profits of the business.
As the consideration for the sale of a goodwill of a business or other property by installments or otherwise.

（1）除第十六条的规定外，彼此不是合伙人的人对第三人而言，不是合伙人。 同租赁、普通租赁、完全租赁、共同财产、普通财产或者部分所有本身不构成
合伙，不论共有人是否分享使用该财产所产生的利益。
分享毛利本身不构成合伙，不论分享该利润的人对产生该利润的财产是否享有共同或普通权利或利益。
某人因获得某一商业利益的一份而开出的收条，构成他作为该商业的一个合伙人的初步证据，但是如果该利益以下列报酬的形式获得则不能得出上述推论： 分期或其他方式的偿还债务，
作为某一雇员的工资或支付给某一地主的租金， 支付给某一已故合伙人的遗孀或代表的养老金，
作为某一贷款的利息，即使其金额随该商业的盈利情况的变化而变化， 因善意出售该商业或其他财产所得的以分期付款或其他方式表现的对价。
§8. Partnership Property
All property originally brought into the partnership stock or subsequently acquired by purchase or otherwise, on account of the partnership, is partnership property.
Unless the contrary intention appears, property acquired with partnership funds is partnership property.
Any estate in real property may be acquired in the partnership name. Title so acquired can be conveyed only in the partnership name.
A conveyance to a partnership in the partnership name, though without words of inheritance, passes the entire estate of the grantor unless a contrary intent appears.
第八条 合伙财产

除非有相反的意思表示，通过合伙基金获得的财产是合伙财产。
