Contract Signature

Contract Signature Definition

Contract signatures are one of the most important aspects of any contract. They serve as a way to validate and finalize the agreement between two parties. Without a signature, a contract is simply an unenforceable agreement.

There are many different types of contract signatures, but they all serve the same purpose: to make the agreement binding. The most common type of signature is a handwritten signature, but there are also electronic signatures, which are becoming increasingly popular.

Handwritten signatures are the most traditional form of contract signing and are still used in many situations. They are generally considered to be more reliable than electronic signatures, as they cannot be easily forged. However, they can be difficult to obtain if the parties are not in the same location.

Electronic signatures, on the other hand, can be obtained even if the parties are not in the same place. They are also harder to forge than handwritten signatures. However, they may not be accepted in all legal situations. It is always best to check with a lawyer before using an electronic signature on a contract.
