Depends on whether either party has signed it. The document may be used as evidence of an agreement that was attempting to be finalized even if neither party has signed it. If only one side has signed it, it can be used to enforce the agreement against the party that did sign it. If work had already been done in reliance on the contract being signed, it could be used to provide compensation for that effort.
On the other hand. If the document was not signed at all it is of no effect and not valid.

You are a witness to the signing of a signature on the document and nothing else, (unless it is stated that you are a witness to something else involved with the legal matter directly above where you will sign the document as the witness.)You do not have to know what the document says, what or who it is about, or anything else about the document in order to be a witness to the signing of the document.You are only a witness to the 'original signature' that was signed on the document and could be asked to verify the original signature, as well as your own signature, by anyone involved in the legal process.I would recommend you Do Not ever sign as a witness unless you are certain the signature is valid and it was signed in front of you.
