Contract terms - please advise
Same here, it is my first contract, but not happy about this at all as it seems as though I am bound by the terms of their contract with the Client, i.e. if the client don't pay Elan (so up to 90 days later) I could have a request land on my doormat asking for money back!! I could end up working...- Dr Evil

What to do when a role is advertised by many agents?
How about just acting with a little integrity, you can generally get a good feeling of what sort of person the agent is.
