Is the contract valid only if it is stamped and not signed?
It is ok to stamp the contract without signing it. Signature and seal have the same effect, and both can make the contract established. So the signature and seal are the same. 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. According to the 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. 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.
