Enterprise contract management will involve electronic contracts and paper contracts. So what's the difference between an electronic contract and a written contract?

There is no difference in meaning and function between an effective electronic contract and a written contract, but there are great differences in form:

The carrier has changed. The carrier of common written contracts is paper, while the carrier of electronic contracts is mainly computer equipment.

Most of the two or more parties to an electronic contract don't meet each other, and all parties operate in a virtual market, and their credit depends on password identification or certification by a certification body;

The digital signature in electronic contract replaces the traditional signature and seal method, which indicates the establishment of the contract;

The place where an electronic contract is concluded is the recipient's main business place, and if there is no main business place, its habitual residence is the place where the contract is concluded; Traditional contracts are generally established at the place where the acceptance takes effect.
