Is the contract signature printed by computer valid?

Such a contract does not take effect. Because the contract only takes effect after being signed or sealed by both parties, and one of them is printed by computer, which is equivalent to not signing, the contract must be signed by himself. A contract is an agreement between the parties or both parties to establish, change or terminate a civil relationship. Contracts established according to law are protected by law. A contract in a broad sense refers to an agreement in all legal departments to determine the relationship between rights and obligations. Narrow contract refers to all civil contracts.
