25. A deed, document or writing binds Bibliothèque et Archives nationales only if it is signed by the chair of the board or a member of the personnel of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales and, in the latter case, only to the extent determined by by-law of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales.
Bibliothèque et Archives nationales, subject to the conditions it determines, may allow a required signature to be affixed by means of an automatic device to the documents it determines, or a facsimile of a signature to be engraved, lithographed or printed on such documents. However, the facsimile has the same force as the signature itself only if the document is countersigned by a person authorized by the chair of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales.
