Or those of you with Contracting experience… OK, any of you…. Feel free to
chime in…

 

A prospective client of mine (their lawyers anyway) have asked that I add a
clause to “Exhibit A of the Contractors Agreement” (Exhibit A, in their case
is basically the place where I put in my billing terms…) that goes something
like

 

“…payment is not due until testing has been approved and completed…”

 

I have a lot of issue with this, not only because it holds up payment on the
entire contract until the end (and I am in no condition to support that) but
because it also leaves me no leverage if they decide to withhold payment
(for any reason)… I’d have made my “deliveries” and its not like I could
“remove” them… (Other than legal).

 

Not to mention that “Now” I/we will have to negotiate and agree on
“Acceptance Criteria” which so far has been loosely “make it work”…

 

(For a bit of context, it’s a multi month contract… Currently labeled as a
“Phase 1” (of at least three)… And both sides (myself and my contacts within
the company) are hoping that this turns into a “long friendly relationship”…

 

I was curious if any of you have seen anything like this…

 

And if any of you have some alternative positions I might offer while I
negotiate around this issue?

 

Thanx, 

Rich
