Extra contract between my company and client

[ASB]

"period of 18 months from the Completion date...fix all bugs or viruses....any defective work will be corrected by the Company at it's own cost and in it's own time"

which I think is completely unreasonable.

If you think it's completely unreasonable this does rather beg the question of why you signed it......

Regarding IP etc there are potential issues if you try and give it to them (in a seperate contract). There needs to be a consideration so it should be sold (for a quid if need be).

Also you might want to ask yourself the question of whether it is actually yours to give up (although it sounds like it is).

I haven't signed it yet ASB.

The client just wants the IP/Ownership bit sorted because they need to cover their backs because they have a huge IP agreement with the client they are working for, it just happens it's their standard contract and these other clauses are in there.

So the 18 month thing is in the extra agreement. I misunderstood. Again

Personally I wouldn't sign that in a month of Sundays unless all the work was chargeable.

I used to give a 90 day warranty, even that was difficult enough. Always used to get a certain amount of feature creep. What you consider a bug and what the end client does are very likely to be very different indeed.

My contract is worded as "Provided that The Contractor is notified within a reasonable time period from the end..." I would argue that anything after the end of the contract is not a reasonable time, since they should have tested it before the end...
