    Well, you might have expected it to but it's just 2 pages and doesn't say very much other than very general stuff on termination clauses, requiring insurance etc. It doesn't say anything at all about ownership of my software. I don't care that they get to keep it lock, stock and barrell - it's long term liability for anything they do with it in future that I'm more worried about.

I'm happy to fix bugs during the contract (indeed I'm obliged to) but I don't want to be liable in 20 years time when they purchase a nuclear reactor and decide that my stock control system will probably work ok with it.
    I know there's a limit to the usefulness of disclaimers in a legal fight but I feel
    as if I should put SOMETHING in there?!
    Thanks for any tips!
    isn't there anything in your contract about this ?
