What if I signed the contract and didn't get it?

If you sign the contract but don't get it, you should negotiate with the other party as soon as possible. Specific practices are as follows:

1. Contact with the other party: try to contact the other party, ask about the contract, and confirm whether it has been mailed or other specific handling methods;

2. Seek evidence: If the other party cannot provide the contract, it should try to find other evidence to prove that the contract has been signed, such as email, SMS, recording, etc.

3. Agree on a supplementary agreement: In order to avoid disputes arising from the lack of the contract, you can agree on a supplementary agreement with the other party to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties and the specific contents of the original contract;

4. Seek legal aid: If you can't negotiate with the other party, you can seek legal aid and seek professional help and advice to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.

There may be many reasons for not getting the contract, including but not limited to the following factors:

1. Communication problem: the communication between the two parties is not smooth, resulting in the failure to deliver the contract in time;

2. Human reasons: one party deliberately delays the delivery of the contract, or the contract is artificially tampered with or destroyed;

3. System problems: due to network, system and equipment problems, the contract cannot be delivered in time;

4. Law: In some cases, the law stipulates that the contract must be delivered in a specific way, such as special mail. Generally speaking, this situation is rare.

To sum up, after the contract is signed, both parties should confirm the specific contents of the contract in time and go through the formal procedures of the contract as soon as possible to avoid disputes arising from the lack of the contract. At the same time, before signing a contract, you should read the terms of the contract carefully to ensure that your rights and interests are not infringed.

Legal basis:

Article 502 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC)

A legally established contract shall come into force upon its establishment, except as otherwise provided by law or agreed by the parties.

In accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, if the contract should go through the approval procedures, such provisions shall prevail. If the failure to go through the formalities such as approval affects the effectiveness of the contract, it will not affect the performance of the obligation clauses such as approval and the effectiveness of relevant clauses in the contract. If the party that should go through the formalities for approval fails to perform its obligations, the other party may require it to bear the responsibility for violating its obligations.
