Definition from
www.businessballs.com:
Where parties act together in a contract as partners they have joint and several liability. In addition to all the partners being responsible together, each partner is also liable individually for the entire contract - so a creditor could recover a whole debt from any one of them individually, leaving that person to recover their shares from the rest of the partners.

连带责任
Definition from
Chinacourt.org:
连带责任作为民事责任的一种，是指根据法律规定或当事人有效约定，两个或两个以上的连带义务人都对不履行义务承担全部责任。连带责任的规定，保障了债权人的利益。
Example sentences:
（1）连带责任是一种多数主体责任，即与债权人相对应的债务人在数量上为两个以上。（2）连带责任是违反法律义务所承担的民事责任。这种法律义务首先是合同法上的义务，即给付义务，表现为作为。合同法上的义务可以是合同当事人的约定（如约定的连带保证责任），也可以是对合同当事人权利义务的法定（如法定的合伙人对合伙债务的连带责任）。其次是侵权法上的义务，即不得侵害他人人身、财产权益的义务，表现为不作为（如共同侵权的连带责任）。（3）连带责任人中任何一人对违反法律义务的后果都必须负全部责任。 (Baidu)
