not?

Hello everyone. I need help with the sentence bellow. I dont know if should use "not"
Your order's confirmation sent by us will (not) have any legal validity...

It is intended to be a negation. I am not sure if any by itself works as a negations, or it needs "not". If I use "not" here, would it be as a second negation?

'Any' does not negate. You must use 'not'. (You can, however, omit 'any'.)
