Totally seconded!

BM, it's like the old joke: "How do I get to <wherever>?" "oooh, you don't want to start from here". Sorry to give an answer that's so much like that, but I wouldn't (personally) work without a written contract. I know it seems legalistic to be bothered about things like that, but it does make sure that both parties are working from the same assumptions.

Working on a project basis, I'd get the client to sign a functional spec - again, just because having these things written down can expose places where the client's assumptions are different to mine. Also, if it's not written down, then frankly I forget what I said. If not immediately, then certainly after a couple of months. Perhaps you could write some minutes of your conversation and get the client to agree (and sign) them?

Update: reread the original question and realised that I really wasn't answering it at all (sorry), and that you do have a requirements doc. All I can say is, perhaps you should take legal advice if you think it's worth it, otherwise maybe best to let it slide. Good luck in any case. andy.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
