I'm in the final throes of negotiating a new contract. Had the contract reviewed and although it was generally quite strong, there were a number of recommendations for improvements. Client (direct) has been very accommodating and agreed to all of them bar one, which typically is one of the more important ones.
Review said that substitution clause was "weak" and could do with strengthening, but client keen to stick to wording recommended by their solicitor.
My options are a) go with it on the basis that MOO clause is strong, lack of control clauses are strong, and at least there IS a substitution clause in place, or, b) turn down the contract, which seems a bit extreme.
I just wondered how the rest of you guys would approach if?
