As long as it is the true intention of both parties, the content of the contract is consistent through consultation and does not violate the mandatory provisions of the law, the contract has legal effect. Therefore, as long as the relevant authorized representatives sign and confirm, the contract has legal effect on the unit. Although the special financial seal cannot be used to conclude a contract, stamping the contract will not invalidate the established contract.

Legal analysis

The official seal is the most powerful seal among all the seals of the company and a symbol of the rights of legal persons. In the current legislation and 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), the official seal can represent the will of legal persons 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. Except for special provisions (for example, some financial provisions can only be stamped with financial seal and legal person seal), all affairs inside and outside the unit can be stamped with official seal. As long as the company's official seal is stamped, it represents the company's recognition of the contents of the seal, and the company should bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Benefits of stamping: the complete implementation of all procedures is respect for customers; It is convenient to verify the authenticity of the receipt; When there is a dispute, avoid others forging receipts, causing unnecessary losses. Receipts are usually stamped with a financial stamp. Receipt has certain legal effect and is also a legal certificate. However, in general, the money received by the receipt can only be the current money, and the money received by the receipt can not be used as matters such as cost, expense or income, but only as a voucher for receiving the current money. Stamping the receipt is to confirm that it has legal effect. A receipt without an official seal has no legal effect. The official seal is a kind of imprint and a unique symbol of each unit and individual. It has legal effect, just like a signature.
