Oh, that's bad. You should work by the hours, not by projects. You should get paid weekly or bi-weekly. You just do your job. Whether the customers are satisfied with it is not your problem. It is SSA's problem, unless you have direct contact with the customers and responsible for writing the specs, creating the wireframe, designing the front-end prototype and meeting with the customers to make sure they are happy with it. Your job is to make the features functional according to the specs and that's it.
This says that they put all the responsibilities on you. They don't take any responsibilities for the project. They just sit in the middle and take the profit and no loss. We all look after ourselves, but we can't work for people whose sole concern is their own well-being, and not ours. You should definitely ask them to revise the contract. In my experience, they always do, but you have to be nice. Don't give them an ultimatum. Although in my experience, it is like dating. You have to kiss many frogs before you meet a prince OR princess :-) When you are new and in needs of money and experience, frogs are just coming out from every direction. Once you are in a good place financially and expertise, princes or princesses start to gradually appear from the distance :-) Johnny > > It's not normal in my experience.
