A company may maintain a common seal, which shall bear the name of the company in legible characters, which may, at the discretion of the company, be followed with or preceded by its dual foreign name or its translated name, if any, or both at such place as the company may, from time to time, determine and in default of any such determination, at its registered office, and may, if so authorised by its articles of association, maintain a duplicate seal or seals, each of which shall be a facsimile of its common seal at such place or places throughout the world as it may authorise and any such duplicate seal may, but shall not be obliged to, bear on its face the name of any country, territory, district, or place where it is to be used.
A deed or instrument under seal to which any such duplicate seal is duly affixed shall bind the company as if it had been sealed with the common seal of the company.
A company having any such duplicate seal may authorise any person appointed for the purpose to affix the duplicate seal to any deed or other document to which the company is party.
The authority of any such agent shall, as between the company and any person dealing with the agent, continue during the period, if any, specified in the instrument conferring the authority, or if no period is so specified, then until notice of the revocation or determination of the authority of the agent ha s been given to such person.
The person affixing any such duplicate seal shall, by writing under that person’s hand, certify on the deed or other instrument to which the seal is affixed the date on which it is affixed.
