Either way it's not brilliant. Not particularly indicative of a genuine business to business agreement. Obviously overall position depends on what else is in there; particularly substitution.

Originally posted by Jatra View PostHi All,
Back to contracting for the first time in years.... I've got something lined up but was surprised to see clauses in the contract under warranties such as:
"no-one other than the Consultant or their spouse influences or controls the way in which payments to the Consultant are made by the Supplier;
no-one other than Consultant or their spouse influences or controls the activities or finances of the Supplier;"
My spouse isn't a director of my ltd co, doesnt have any shares (yet), so I'm wondering if this is standard?
Additionally, whats the general feeling about liability insurance for IT consultants? Any recommednations?
Thanks,
Tim

Tell the agent to take out all references to an unconnected third party, unless they can justify why it is in there.
When they can't justify it, change it.

Contract differentiates between supplier and consultant provided by supplier (with substitutability provision) but these clauses do seem a bit odd.
If the company *is* married I'm a bit peeved I didnt get an invitation to the wedding ;-)

Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostI've never seen that clause, but I'd not be comfortable with the wording of the Consultant either, that suggests it's a personal contract and not a business to business one. I think you would be wise to get the whole thing IR35 reviewed.
Liability insurances - I can't remember the last time I had a client that didn't require it. It's cheap to get anyway.

Given that agencies don't have a clue abou the law, they will always take a lawyers advice.
