The contract manager only signs the contract according to the authority or legal provisions, not in his own name, and generally does not need to bear legal responsibility for the contract. But if the manager is at fault, he needs to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.

An agent, as its name implies, is a person who handles things. An agent only represents an agent of a certain matter. Those who handle matters according to law or ex officio shall not bear legal responsibility for the matters handled. In the sales contract, the agent is not at fault and does not bear legal responsibility. If there is a fault, he shall bear the responsibility within the fault range. After assuming the responsibility, the company has the right to recover from the manager.

Why did the manager sign the contract?

Because the effective performance of the contract needs the execution of the agent, in order to ensure that all relevant personnel recognize the terms of the contract during the execution, the signature of the agent is also needed; This kind of contract is determined by many parties, which further improves the legal efficiency. In view of the denial and breach of contract in the process of traditional contract signing and stamping, the following problems can be solved by using reliable electronic signature: firstly, electronic signature technology is the core technology of identity authentication and information encryption, and the electronic contract signed by reliable electronic signature has the characteristics of identifiable signing identity and unchangeable signing content; Secondly, the whole process of contract operation can be proved by electronic contract signing, and when the contract is in dispute, the validity of the contract can be proved by authoritative notarization and judicial expertise.
