Legal analysis: In the absence of a contract, if both parties actually perform the contract, the act has the same legal effect on both parties. For example, in the case of sales contract disputes, the seller did not sign the contract, but actually sent the goods to the buyer, fulfilled the delivery obligation, and the buyer also signed for and paid the payment. Then the buying and selling behavior has actually happened, and the validity of the buying and selling contract relationship is not affected by the absence of signature defects.

Legal basis: Article 502 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), a contract established according to law shall come into effect upon its establishment, unless otherwise stipulated by law or agreed by the parties. In accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, if the contract should go through the approval procedures, such provisions shall prevail. If the failure to go through the formalities such as approval affects the effectiveness of the contract, it will not affect the performance of the obligation clauses such as approval and the effectiveness of relevant clauses in the contract. If the party that should go through the formalities for approval fails to perform its obligations, the other party may require it to bear the responsibility for violating its obligations. The modification, assignment and dissolution of a contract shall be subject to the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, and the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply and shall be subject to approval.
