Signing a contract online complies with legal regulations and is legally binding.

Written forms are contracts, letters, and data messages (including telegrams, telexes, faxes, electronic data interchange, and emails) that can tangibly express the content contained therein. Electronic contracts in the form of data messages fully comply with legal requirements for contracts. If the parties conclude a contract in the form of letters, data messages, etc. and require the signing of a confirmation letter, the contract shall be established when the confirmation letter is signed. Contracts signed online should be considered valid as long as they do not violate laws, administrative regulations and other mandatory provisions, do not violate public order and good customs, and are the true expression of intention of the parties. Because a contract signed online is also a written form of the contract, a contract established in accordance with the law and meeting the conditions for the validity of the contract will take effect from the time the contract is established. Contracts signed online have the same civil legal effect as written contracts. If one party fails to perform the obligations specified in the online contract, it should bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract.

The process of signing a contract online is:

1. Real-name authentication. Real-name authentication is a verification and audit of the authenticity of user data;

2. Online signature. To sign an electronic contract on the Xinxin Electronic Contract Platform, you need to upload the electronic contract and use your own exclusive electronic signature;

3. Send the contract. Next, you can send the signed contract to the other party as soon as it is signed, and accurately record the sending time;

4. Sign by the other party. The other party will be notified when they receive the contract you sent. At this time, as long as the other party logs in to the platform, the received electronic contract will be electronically signed, verified by SMS, and effectively signed;

5. Contract storage. The signed contract is encrypted and stored in secure cloud storage, making the contract original output.

To sum up, as long as the contract signed online has the capacity for civil conduct, does not violate the mandatory provisions of laws and regulations, does not harm the legitimate interests of others, and the content of the contract is the true expression of intention of both parties, then It just works.
