Generally speaking, a contract does not need a specific form. As long as it is approved by both parties, a legal and effective contract can be concluded.

According to the latest civil procedure law, electronic evidence (including electronic signature) is a kind of evidence just like documentary evidence; According to the electronic signature law, a reliable electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature or seal. Therefore, the electronic contract with electronic signature itself has legal effect.

Many people think that a contract will take effect only after notarization, which is wrong. Notarization is not an effective element of a contract. Once a contract is signed or even reached orally, it has legal effect. Whether a contract has legal effect has little to do with notarization, unless the parties to the contract take notarization as a prerequisite for the contract to take effect.
