First, the role and significance of riding a seal
Seal sewing is a special seal method, which is usually used for the edges of multi-page documents. The continuous seal ensures the integrity and continuity of the document. In cooperation agreements and other legal documents, the riding seal can be used as an anti-counterfeiting means to prevent the contents of the agreement from being illegally tampered with or replaced.
2. Does the cooperation agreement need to be stamped with a riding seal?
There is no uniform legal provision on whether the cooperation agreement needs to be stamped with sewing stamp. This mainly depends on the specific agreement between the two parties to the agreement. If both parties of the agreement think that the riding seal will help to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the agreement, they can clearly stipulate and affix the riding seal in the agreement. On the other hand, if both parties think that other means, such as signature and seal, are sufficient to ensure the effectiveness of the agreement, they may not choose to affix the riding seal.
Three. Matters needing attention in stamping sewing seal
If both parties decide to stamp the riding seal, they should pay attention to the following points:
1. The riding seal shall be clear and complete, covering the edge of each page of the document;
2. The riding seal shall be used in conjunction with other seals (such as official seal and signature seal) in this agreement to ensure the integrity and authenticity of this agreement;
3. Before sealing the saddle joint, carefully check the contents of the agreement to ensure that it is correct;
4. The use of the riding seal shall comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, and shall not violate the legal provisions.
To sum up:
Whether the cooperation agreement needs to be sealed depends on the specific agreement of both parties and the provisions of relevant laws and regulations. If both parties think that the riding seal helps to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the agreement, they can clearly stipulate and affix the riding seal in the agreement. However, both parties to the agreement should abide by the provisions of laws and regulations to ensure the validity and legitimacy of the agreement, regardless of whether the riding seal is affixed.
