Hi folks,
Is it legal to put the following clause in a contract 'if the agency deems that the personnels (i.e. contractors) behaviour, attitude, demeanour is predjudicial to the interests of the agency, the agency reserves the right to terminate this agreement forwith and withhold payment of outstanding invoices'.
I have numerous emails from the client saying how happy they are with my work, plus and termination letter from the agency saying the contract finished early due to changing client requirements, and how happy the agency were ith my 'professionalism and knowledge of the subject', however, they have just sent me an email quoting this clause and are refusing to pay my invoices.
It seems completely unfair that the agency can just subjectively decide that my behaviour, attitude or demeanour was wrong and not pay me.
Any advice on my legal position and options for redress are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
