A legally valid contract in China must include the following elements. First, China lawyer Lyu Qiang recommends hiring a lawyer to draft any contract involving amounts over 10,000 yuan. This is because contracts drafted by individuals or templates found online are often not recognized in court when disputes arise, failing to protect one’s interests. At a minimum, a legally valid contract should include the following elements. First, the identification of both parties—who you are and who the other party is. If the other party is a company, their registered address and service address should be included. If the other party is an individual, their ID number is required. Next, the contract should include termination clauses, specifying under what circumstances the contract can be terminated. Additionally, the contract must have breach of contract clauses, outlining the liabilities if one party breaches the agreement. The contract should also specify the place of performance, the place of signing, and the court with jurisdiction. Finally, it should include a clause stating that, in the event of a dispute leading to litigation, all legal costs, including attorney fees, court fees, and announcement fees, will be borne by the other party.
