Goya,
do you have the details of the changes that were negotiated on the standard CP contract, they would be very useful to see.

Originally posted by GoyaThe other scary bit is with regards to reimbursement. Not only can they sue your Ltd for any money they deem to have lost, but they also can come after you personally for it. I thought this was unacceptable - they like you to think they treat you as a professional service provider, etc. but when it comes down to the small print they don't.
Asking for a personal guarentee from a small company director is a reasonably 'normal' thing to do. It is dead easy for an inexperienced business man to mismanage the company affairs and end up leaving someone else to pick up the bill. This says nothing at all about how good they are seen as a technician.

Originally posted by GoyaI wanted to make further changes with regards to IR35 for the renewal. These were mainly to remove the personalisation on the contract (i.e. they list you down as the Personnel, make you sign twice on behalf of Ltd & personnel). Also change the termination notice period from 4 weeks to immediate notice.
It is clients that don't like contractors walking at no notice, not agents.

I've seen some contracts in my time but as you guys say this one takes the biscuit. It's about as far away from a B2B document as I've ever seen. Still their loss as I told them to forget it but I've already found another pimp prepared to produce a sensible contract that treats my co like the bona-fide supplier that it is.
thanks for your comments.

I highly doubt a contract from CP would be IR35 friendly as they seem to consider their contractors as overpaid temps but with less rights than temps

I'm coming to the end of my current gig with CP & the reason I'm not renewing is that they won't make certain changes to the contract.
I had B&C go through their standard contract & it failed IR35. They negotiated the standard changes for IR35 okay (MOO, substitution, etc) so I signed it.

They wouldn't change the terms so I'm walking.
My advice would be to not use them.

Does it fall inside IR35 or outside?
Also, any thoughts on any issues that have arisen for anyone working through them.
thanks
