(3) A partner who in aid of the partnership makes any payment or advance beyond the amount of capital which he agreed to contribute shall be paid interest from the date of the payment or advance;
(4) A partner shall receive interest on the capital contributed by him only from the date when repayment should be made;
(5) All partners have equal rights in the management and conduct of the partnership business;
(6) No partner is entitled to remuneration for acting in the partnership business, except that a surviving partner is entitled to reasonable compensation for his services in winding up the affairs;
(7) No person can become a member of a partnership without the consent of all the partners; and
(8) Any difference arising as to ordinary matters connected with the partnership business may be decided by a majority of the partners; but no act in contravention of any agreement between the partners may be done rightfully without the consent of all the partners.
