I bet you will next time.
You need to talk to them about amicable resolution. They probably would like you to fix it for free. You need to be clear on what you'll do, what you won't do and what you expect to be paid. Put it in writing once agreed and learn from the exercise.Last edited by Lance; 3 April 2017, 17:34.See You Next TuesdayComment

What does your contract say about fixing problems? Do you fix them at your cost, or do they pay for fixing them? This is a big question in the context of IR35, and is in HMRC's online tool, but it's also a big question in terms of client relationships. Your first port of call should not be an online forum, it should be to go back and see what, if anything, your contract says.
Then, you need to look at exactly what is your problem and what is preexisting problems, and probably document that thoroughly. Once you know what your contract actually says, and know what is legitimate grounds for complaint and what isn't, you're able to intelligently discuss it with them.Comment

And also what was the defined acceptance/completion criteria in the signed contract ? Was it specific enough or have elements of vagueness, hence the situation you are now faced with ?______________________

So the original contract was to port an existing system to a new technology/platform - a like-for-like rewrite? Plus some bug-fixes to existing issues in the old system?
If that's the case then I can't see it's your responsibility to fix things they didn't tell you were broken if this would be classed as domain knowledge that's unreasonable for you to figure out.
I don't think you answered about contract clauses relating to code ownership... my inclination would be not to release code until payment but it depends what the contract says. Certainly, refusing to do further work until you've been paid for what was already done is not unreasonable.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
