As long as the electronic seal is the official seal of the parties to the contract and meets the legal requirements for seals, it can have the same effect as the entity seal.

Electronic seal is not applicable to the following situations:

1, involving personal relationships such as marriage, adoption and inheritance;

2, involving the transfer of land, housing and other real estate rights;

3, involving the cessation of water supply, heating, gas supply, power supply and other public utilities services;

4. Other circumstances in which electronic documents are not applicable as stipulated by laws and administrative regulations.

The printed electronic seal contract is valid.

Electronic official seal or electronic signature has legal effect in electronic contract, and it has the same legal effect as the paper written material of entity seal. However, if only the image using the seal is printed, the printed seal does not have the same legal effect and may be suspected of forging the company seal. Therefore, the electronic contract itself can be presented by printing, but the printed electronic seal is not equal to the legal effect of the electronic contract itself.

To sum up, contracts with electronic seals are generally electronic contracts. In real life, paper contracts cannot be stamped with electronic seals, and the legal effect of electronic contracts is guaranteed by special laws and regulations.
