I've been waiting for this role for the last 5 months, finally starting on Tue next.
There are couple of issues in the contract that smell IR35.
Though small print says Contractor == Ltd company, I'm concerned about
a) mention of my name in the contract
and
b) the fact that agency only can terminate by giving a 10 day notice sounds bit daft.
All my previous contracts are allegedly outside of IR35.
I don't want to be rude by simply crossing out a) and b) and send in the signed contract.
What are the alternatives I can suggest to the agency? Any useful tips negotiating this contract?
Thanks.

1. Has references to my name Joe Bloque
2. A Dodgy notice period clause.
Contractor cannot give notice and is expected to complete project. Non compliance in this will lead to the Company claiming associated damages and the Contractor here by acknowledges this. Agency may give the contractor a 10 day notice of termination
