It is casual to carve the seal of one's own individual industrial and commercial households, which does not constitute a crime, and it is not illegal for individual industrial and commercial households to carve their own seals.

However, after completing the relevant formalities, you must go to the designated regular engraving shop to engrave the seal, otherwise the seal will be invalid. If you carve the official seal of other companies without permission, it is suspected of committing a crime.

Second, what should I do if my corporate seal is lost?

After the official seal of an enterprise is lost, it is necessary to go to the company registration authority, that is, the original industrial and commercial department for the record at the first time, explain the theft of the official seal to the staff and ask for remedial measures. After accepting the case, the window staff should first report the loss in the newspaper and make the loss of the original corporate seal public, so that the legal problems caused by others using the official seal do not need to be borne.

After reporting the loss, go to the industrial and commercial window to continue the business. The staff will issue a certificate of loss reporting, and then use this certificate to go to the public security window to handle business. With the loss report statement issued by the industrial and commercial department, they go to the local government affairs hall to engrave the official seal of the enterprise for the record, and they will cancel the original official seal and give a new record certificate.

Through the public security record certificate, the new official seal of the enterprise will be engraved in the designated official seal engraving enterprise. The template of the new corporate seal also needs to be filed with the public security. After the new corporate seal is engraved, banks and finance and taxation departments should continue to go through the formalities of change. But legally speaking, there is no other risk at this time.

Personal seal is very important for individuals, because after printing personal seal, stamping the relevant documents means representing a behavior of the parties. Individuals should be able to engrave, but they should not engrave privately in violation of the law.

What is the importance of personal seal? 1. Is the contract valid without signature and seal?

In principle, a contract is only valid if it is signed and sealed, but Article 490 of the Contract Section of the Civil Code also stipulates an exception, that is, if a contract is concluded in the form of a contract, including a letter of confirmation, one party has fulfilled its main obligations before signing or sealing, and the other party accepts it, the contract is established. In this way, the contract is prevented from being effective due to the lack of formal elements, which is in line with the interests of the parties and promotes the circulation of commodity economy.

2. What are the legal consequences of an invalid contract?

The Civil Code Contract Series provides two provisions on the legal consequences of invalid contracts. First, after the contract is invalid or cancelled, the property obtained from the contract shall be returned; If it is impossible or unnecessary to return it, it shall be compensated at a discount. The party at fault shall compensate the other party for the losses suffered as a result. If both parties are at fault, they shall bear their respective responsibilities. Second, if the parties collude in bad faith and harm the interests of the state, the collective or the third party, the property thus obtained shall be owned by the state or returned to the collective or the third party.

1, return the property. The return of property means that the parties to a contract have the right to claim the property that has been delivered to the other party after the contract is confirmed to be invalid or cancelled, and the other party has the obligation to return the accepted property. There are two forms of returning property:

First, unilateral return. Unilateral return means that one party has accepted the property from another party according to an invalid contract, and that party has returned the property to the other party; Or although both parties have accepted the property of the other party, but one party has not committed any illegal act, and the other party has intentionally committed illegal acts, the party without illegal acts has the right to request the return of the property, and the party with intentional illegal acts has no right to request the return of the property, and the property possessed by the other party is turned over to the state treasury according to law. Unilateral return refers to the return of the property of one party to the other party. The returned property shall be the original, and the original currency shall be returned. If the property was originally delivered, it should be returned.

Second, the return of both sides. Return by both parties means that when both parties have accepted the property paid by the other party, the property of both parties will be returned to the other party, and if the property is accepted, the property will be returned; If you accept the money, you will return it. If both parties intentionally violate the law, they should turn over all the property they get from each other to the state treasury.

2. Discount compensation. Discount compensation is a form of liability to compensate the other party in monetary form when the property of the other party obtained from an invalid contract cannot be returned or is unnecessary, and it is converted according to the value of the obtained property.

3. compensate for the losses. When the contract is confirmed to be invalid, if one party or both parties cause losses to the other party, they shall also be liable for damages. The liability for such damages shall have the following elements:

(1) Damage fact exists.

(2) The obligor for compensation is at fault. This is an important factor of damages.

(3) There is a causal relationship between wrong behavior and loss.

If both parties to the contract are at fault, according to the provisions of the Civil Code contract, both parties should bear corresponding responsibilities, that is, the degree of fault should be applied. If the fault of one party is the main reason and the other party is the secondary reason, the former is more responsible than the latter; If one party is intentional and the other party is negligent, the responsibility of the intentional party should be greater than that of the negligent party.

If one party suffers losses due to the invalidity or cancellation of the contract and the other party is at fault, it shall compensate the victims for their losses. This kind of liability for compensation is based on the liability for fault in contracting. The losses here should be limited to the actual losses that have occurred, and the expected benefits should not be compensated, because the treatment of invalid contracts is based on the principle of restitution.

4. Non-civil consequences. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid or dissolved, in addition to civil legal consequences such as returning property and compensating losses, non-civil consequences also occur under special circumstances. The Contract Compilation of the Civil Code specifically stipulates that if the parties to a contract maliciously collude to harm the interests of the state, the collective or the third party, the legal consequences of recovering the property will occur, that is, the property obtained by the parties who maliciously collude to harm the interests of the state, the collective or the third party will be recovered, returned to the state or returned to the lost collective or the third party. Nationalization is not a civil remedy, but a public remedy; Generally known as the legal consequences of non-civil law. According to the interpretation of Article 6 1 Paragraph 2 of the General Principles of Civil Law in Opinions on Several Issues, the recovered property includes the property obtained by both parties and the property obtained by agreement, which reflects the punishment of the perpetrator for intentionally violating the prohibited norms of the law.

Combined with the above introduction, we know that, in principle, if a contract is not signed or sealed, then the contract at this time cannot be considered as legally effective. However, there are exceptions to the Contract Law, that is, if one party has fulfilled its main obligations and the other party has accepted them, it is still considered valid even though it has not been signed and sealed.
