1. An electronic contract without signature is invalid. Contract online signing refers to online signing in the field of e-commerce. In the field of electronic commerce, it can also be called electronic contracting. At present, there are many ways to sign electronic documents online at home and abroad, but most of them have no legal effect. The only online signing with legal effect means that both parties use electronic signature technology to sign electronic contracts and other signing agreements online.

2. Legal basis:

According to the Civil Code

Article 490 Where the parties conclude a contract in the form of a contract, the contract is formed 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.

Second, does an electronic contract without autograph have legal effect?

A legally binding electronic contract has the following four elements:

1, true identity (when electronic signature data is used for electronic signature, it belongs to the electronic signer exclusively)

2. True will (when signing, the electronic signature production data is only controlled by the electronic signer)

3. The signature has not been changed (any changes to the electronic signature can be found after signing).

4. The original text has not been changed (any changes in the content and form of the data message can be found after signing)
