According to the provisions of Article 32 of the Contract Law, if the parties conclude a contract in the form of a contract, the contract is established when both parties sign or seal it.

In addition, article 35 also stipulates that if the parties conclude a contract in the form of a contract, the place where both parties sign or seal is the place where the contract is established.

If a written contract is concluded in accordance with the above provisions, the contract shall be established when both parties sign or seal it. As long as it does not violate the mandatory provisions of the law, it is effective to conclude a contract by scanning, that is, it can be signed by electronic scanning. However, in order to prevent unnecessary troubles in the subsequent signing of the contract, it is suggested that both parties sign the contract face to face in the presence of both parties, to prevent the signatory from maliciously modifying the terms of the contract, and to better communicate and negotiate the contract.
