Summary: We define partial product systems over $\mathbb N$. They generalise product systems over $\mathbb N$ and Fell bundles over $\mathbb Z$. We define Toeplitz $C^*$-algebras and relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras for them and show that the section $C^*$-algebra of a Fell bundle over $\mathbb Z$ is a relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. We describe the gauge-invariant ideals in the Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra.
