Does the WeChat contract commitment letter have legal effect?

The letter of commitment is actually a contract, and of course it has legal effect. However, an effective undertaking must meet the following three conditions at the same time:

First of all, it is a reflection of the true wishes of the parties. The content of the letter of commitment shall be the expression of the true meaning of the parties, and shall not be forced, threatened, lured or deceived.

Secondly, the content of the letter of commitment that does not violate the relevant laws and regulations must comply with the provisions of the law and cannot violate the prohibitive provisions of laws or administrative regulations, otherwise the letter of commitment may be invalid.

Finally, there is no infringement on the interests of others. The promisor can only dispose of what he has the right to dispose of, but not infringe upon the legitimate interests of others.

In short, whether the letter of commitment has legal effect mainly depends on whether it meets the above three conditions. Of course, in practice, only a letter of commitment that expresses the true meaning of the parties concerned and does not violate the relevant provisions of the law or infringe upon the interests of others is valid and will be protected by law.

3.
