Matt Sugden Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 so my client paid up in the end!! woo hoo! so it would seem blocking the use of the copyrighted images and taking legal action was an effective solution, at least for getting the money back, albeit an aggressive and unfortunate one. I've probably burnt my bridges with this one, but I guess who wants clients that don't pay up anyhow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bened Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 In my experience it is essential to have terms of engagement contract that clearly states your limited liability. This basically says that you aren't responsible for any costs incurred by your client that are outside of the agreed work. I had a client who wanted me to pay for another company to re-do an animation I did for him, because I didn't have the time to do it (the animation had been delivered and paid for some 18 months previously!). After calls from his lawyer, and some threats, I just pointed out the limited liability clause he'd agreed to, and all the hot air just blew away. I knew there was a point to lawyers!
