Just got a contract through the post and they want £5million of professional indemnity. That seems a little excessive - most providers only offer 1 or 2 million max. Looks like I'm not going to get a tick in that box.

£5M?!?
It's getting silly now. -
No Substitution clause either!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Also don't like this clause
where the Supplier is rejected by the client within the first 4 weeks of the assignment and the agreement is terminated as a result, the supplier shall refund all monies paid to the supplier for the assignment
Does this mean, if the client decides that they don't want me within the first 4 weeks that they can get shut and I have to pay back the money earned and already paid to my company?Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I doubt this is legal, but only an idiot would sign it. Name & shame the agency so we can add to our "avoid like the plague" lists please.Originally posted by TonyEnglishHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

The agency is Modis. The contract is a joke.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

That's mad. Whatever you are contracted to do, I'm sure £250K-£500K sum insured is sufficient. Sounds like the customer has pasted in a standard clause to your contract and not thought too deeply on the level of cover. Challenge it politely.Originally posted by TonyEnglish"My God, it's huge!!"

Now that I've read the rest of the thread, yes, I'd walk away from this contract,"My God, it's huge!!"Comment

Just spoken to them. The 5 million - oh don't bother about that!! Why is it on the contract if I don't bother about it. Also said I wanted a substitution clause and the clause above taking off. They are sending me an updated contract.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
