Following an answer from Gary, I replied: """Gary, I tried to propose a fair solution, that you could take and feel that the work we have done so far had not been in vain, and had been paid for. Take some time to consider it - re-read the specifications, have a look at the code and compare it with the specs, discuss with Illya. Try to see how much time it will realistically take to complete 100% of the job here. You will see that I'm actually optimistic when I say we are only half way through. I'm trying to do you a favor - I want relationships to end on a positive note, even when it didn't work very well. If I was only looking after my own interests, I would just ask for a full refund and get someone else to start over from scratch - it would be easier for me and the new developer, and less expensive. My offer still stands, but I'm not going to pay 75% of the price for the code in its current form. Take the time to investigate and think about it, and let me know which way you prefer.""" Gary refused, and Michele from vWorker said she would start the formal arbitration tomorrow.
