I was asked by a small upstart company
to design and build
a website on an agreed upon price with a timeline of one
month.
The individual who was funding the
project has literally
no experience in web design leaving him a bit confused
as to what
was going on. I tried to explain as best I could and
eventually
left it at "I'll let ya know when it's done."
It has
taken 2 weeks, well under the agreed upon timeline.
That was not good enough and now
that the site is just about
done, (( to be released tomorrow - (
Thursday))
I've been told to scrap it and I'll not be paid the
remainder
of what I'm owed.
He quotes "Miscommunication on my part" as the
reason.
( My part meaning; me--SD )
Also, the fact that he can't see what
I'm doing seems to
upset him. He's several hundred miles from
me.
My question is this: Is the original
agreement binding even
though it was verbal...??
I've been paid for just
under half and the work is, for all
intents and purposes,
complete.
I'm thinking Small Claims Court. The
remainder of
what I'm owed is worth it.
Thanx,
Later,
