Do you have a lawyer or know a lawyer?  Ask them to look at it and  then you 
can say, "Everything was fine with the contract except my lawyer didn't  want 
me to agree to that last clause."  If they can cancel on you when the  work is 
98% done and you get nothing, that's just not fair and they know that,  too.  
And a lawyer may see other things in the contract that you might not  want to 
agree to, either.  By all means, negotiate.

Subject: [Puptcrit] Contracts: A group  question

I I have a question for the group.

I received a  contract from a large national chain (LNC) that contained
a clause at the  very bottom: (company) reserves the right to cancel
this agreement for any  reason and at any time before the Performance.
Should (company) exercise  the right to cancel, (company) will incur no
liability nor owe performer  any compensation.

I have worked for LNC's and have never encountered  this before. I
asked for a deposit of 25%. I was told in reply that the  company is
large and reputable, that the standard contract cannot be  amended and
that there has never been a problem with payments or  cancellations.

They are large. There seems to be honor in them. The  clause bothers me.
Should I suck it up.
Drop them like a hot  stone.
Option C.

Brief thoughts?


Thank  You,
Tim
