The scanned copy signed and sealed on the contract is valid, as long as the contract is the true intention of the parties and does not violate the law. The signature and seal of a contract need not be sealed by both parties at the same time. When the parties conclude a written contract, it is generally established after the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints.

1. Is the scanned copy of the contract valid?

The signed and sealed scanned copy is valid.

According to Article 490 of the General Principles of the Civil Law, if the parties conclude a contract in the form of a contract, the contract is established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

Article 143 stipulates that a civil juristic act that meets the following conditions is valid:

(1) The actor has corresponding capacity for civil conduct;

(2) the meaning is true;

(three) does not violate the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations, and does not violate public order and good customs.

Second, does the contract need to be sealed by both parties at the same time?

Both parties do not need to stamp the contract at the same time. If the parties enter into a contract in the form of a contract, the contract shall be established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

Article 490 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC): If the parties conclude a contract in the form of a contract, the contract is concluded when the parties sign, seal or fingerprint it. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it. A contract shall be concluded in written form as stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or agreed by the parties. If the parties do not do this in writing, but one party has fulfilled its main obligations and the other party accepts it, the contract is established.

3. What stamp do I need to sign the contract?

When signing a contract on behalf of the company, both the contract seal and the company's official seal have legal effect, so both the official seal and the contract seal can be stamped. If the general company has a contract seal, the contract seal is preferred.

Remind you that the official seal is the most effective of all seals and a symbol of legal person's rights. In the current legislative and judicial practice, it is an important criterion to judge whether a civil activity is established and effective. Unless there are special provisions in the law (such as stamping invoices), use the official seal to represent the will of the legal person and sign contracts and other legal documents with high legal effect. All letters, official documents, contracts, letters of introduction, certificates or other company materials issued in the name of the company can use the official seal. Letter of introduction and contract with official seal are legal documents to express the company's intention.
