A mismatched legal name can impair enforcement; correct via amendment or executed addendum showing the intended contracting entity and authorized signatory.

Is an audit trail sufficient to prove signing?

An audit trail documenting timestamps, IP address, and signer attribution supports enforceability; stronger authentication may be advised for high-risk transactions.
